The school also proposes accommodation in the "Empire" residential complex. Located around 15-20 minutes away from the language school building, these modern apartments each consist of three single bedrooms. You will share the bathroom, kitchenette and TV lounge with your two flatmates. The complex also contains a restaurant, a café-bar, a small gym, a swimming pool as well as a laundry room. On the practical side, bedlinen is provided and the apartments are cleaned every week. On request and with a price supplement, it is also possible to stay in an individual studio apartment (other services are identical).

Leisure

Underwater and extreme sports are very popular, or perhaps you would rather give yourself over to relaxation and stroll through the city’s numerous grassy parks. Auckland is very busy by day and by night. Its restaurants, bars and nightclubs will provide you with unforgettable evenings out. As part of its intensive program, the school offers afternoon activities and organises regular outings and parties. On the weekends, excursions are proposed to discover the region (Bay of Islands, Rotorua, Coromandel etc.).
