Accommodation

Languages International offers 3 main types of accommodation to students who are attending classes.

We recommend staying with one of our carefully selected homestay families. This is the best way to improve your English and learn more about New Zealand and its culture.

If you are looking for more independent accommodation, we also offer student residential accommodation and serviced apartments in Auckland, and student residential accommodation in Christchurch.

(If you are under 18, you can only stay in homestay accommodation arranged by the school or with a relative or a close friend of your family. You cannot stay in Student Residence. More information for under 18s.)
