Host family
The host families in Port Douglas live in an area which is close to the school. Students can get to and from the school easily on foot, by bicycle or by bus. Most families have a swimming pool or live close to the beach. Students stay in single rooms with half-board provided. The families are chosen with care by our partner school and will suit adults and professionals with demands of convenience and comfort. Staying with a host family is also an excellent opportunity to put into practice the new language skills you have acquired in everyday situations.
