Adelaide Lightning is proud to announce Urban Rest as the club’s Official Player Housing Partner for the 2025/26 WNBL season.
This new partnership will provide high-quality, apartment living in Adelaide for Lightning players who have relocated from interstate or overseas, ensuring they can settle quickly, feel at home, and focus on performance throughout the season.
Urban Rest offers boutique serviced apartments across Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and the United Kingdom. Each stay combines the comfort of home with the convenience of a hotel, featuring practical amenities that athletes value, from fully equipped kitchens and dedicated living spaces to in-stay laundries, supporting everyday wellbeing and consistent routines off the court.
Jeff Baars, Chief Commercial Officer at Urban Rest, said the partnership is about giving athletes more than just a place to stay:
“We’re thrilled that Adelaide Lightning players will be calling Urban Rest home this season. Our apartments are move-in ready and designed to make relocation seamless, allowing players to focus on their best basketball while feeling connected to the Adelaide community.”
Adelaide Lightning CEO Melanie MacGillivray said the club is excited to welcome Urban Rest to the team’s off-court support network:
“Housing security is critical to player welfare, recruitment and retention. Urban Rest gives our non-local players a stable, high-quality home environment from day one, helping them settle into Adelaide and concentrate on what matters most, performing on court and engaging with our community.”
