Allan Gray House accommodates 84 female students.

Allan Gray House is close to the heart of campus, and is also very close to the town, and is situated on the lower end of Prince Alfred Street between the Philosophy and Political & International Studies Departments, and across the road from Graham House.

Allan Gray House is overseen by a Warden who resides in the residence, and three Sub-Wardens, who are Rhodes students and live in the residence.  They are available to attend to any concerns of residents on a regular basis.  A House Committee is also elected for each year.

All rooms in Allan Gray House are single rooms.

Meals are provided in the Drostdy Dining Hall, just across the road from Allan Gray House.
