Accommodation

Host family
Our partner school carefully selects local host families who can offer you accommodation during your stay in Noosa. This is an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in the Australian culture whilst having the chance to practise your English on a daily basis outside of class in informal, authentic contexts. Host families generally live around 20 minutes away from the school and provide you with a single room and full board (or breakfast only).

Student house (from 18 years)
In addition to host families, our partner school also proposes staying in a student house, where you will have the opportunity to live with other international students during your stay. You will live around 20 minutes away from the school and will have a double room (or a single room on request). The student house contains 4-5 double or twin rooms, a fully-equipped kitchen, a bathroom, a living/dining room area, a garden. If you have your own laptop, you can also benefit from WiFi access. Bedlinen and towels are provided and you also have access to a washing machine.

Leisure

All types of water sports are on the program: sailing, fishing, swimming, jet-skiing, water skiing, rowing, kayaking, diving and surfing. You can also go horse riding, or hire a bike and ride to the small neighbouring villages to discover open-air markets or art galleries. Fraser Island is not to be missed. It is the world’s largest sand island (120 km), with not a single tarred road. You explore it by 94-wheel drive, crossing the magnificent sand dunes that are shaped by the winds. It is also covered with forests and has some 200 lakes. For those wishing to make contact with civilisation, Brisbane is only 160 km away.
