Accommodation
Australian families have an innate sense of hospitality and are distinguished by their easy going nature. Students can get to the school by bike, which is without doubt the best means of getting around Byron Bay. (The school rents bikes to students and has parking spaces available for their use). Accommodation is in a single room with half board during the week and full board at weekends.
Student house (from 18 years)
You also have the possibility of sharing a host with other students of the school. The student houses proposed by BBELS contain three double bedrooms, a bathroom, a living/dining room which is shared by the students as well as a washing machine and a kitchen for preparing your meals. Bedlinen is provided but you will need to bring your own towels. The student houses are also equipped with a WiFi connection. It will take you around 10 minutes by foot to get to the school and...the beaches!
Backpackers
Numerous backpackers and hotels also offer rooms for all budgets, which the school can help you to book.

Please note: during the Blues Festival every year at Easter, Byron Bay fills up with visitors. Think of booking your accommodation enough time ahead!
