Accommodation in New Zealand

Homestays

If you are new to New Zealand we recommend that you choose Homestay accommodation, even if just for the first few months while you settle in.  Homestay accommodation means you can stay with a New Zealand family during your studies.

If you are interested in Homestay accommodation please let us know when you apply and we will refer you to our recommended Homestay provider.  All Homestays have had the facilities inspected and the hosts interviewed and vetted by the police as to their suitability.  Ongoing inspections are made regularly.

Homestay accommodation provides students with their own room, study facilities, 3 meals a day, heating, laundry, ablutions and the use of a phone. 

At least two weeks notice is normally required to arrange Homestay on the students’ behalf.

Other accommodation options:

• Rental accommodation.
• Private boarding.
• Hostel - Vision College does not have a student hostel but can make recommendations.

Please also read the International Students’ Handbook for more details about accommodation options.
