History

Prince Alfred House is situated near the old Drostdy Barracks.

Our Home

Prince Alfred House accommodates 52 female students.

Prince Alfred House is close to the heart of campus, and is also very close to the town, and is situated off the lower end of Prince Alfred Street, in the Barratt Lecture Theatre Complex parking lot, behind the Community Engagement Division, and next to Allan Gray House.

Prince Alfred House is overseen by a Warden who resides in the residence, and two 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 Prince Alfred House are single rooms.

Meals are provided in the Drostdy Dining Hall, right across the road from Prince Alfred House.
