They offer you accommodation in a single room with half board during the week and at the weekends, you will benefit from half board.

Shared apartments "Empire" (from 18 years)

Located in modern buildings, the apartments benefit from an uninterrupted view of the city and the port. You will stay in a single room and will share the corner kitchen, the bathroom and the living room with your flatmates. The residence also includes a cinema room, a restaurant, a sports room and a paying laundry room. The apartments are cleaned every two weeks.

Residence "Unilodge" (from 18 years)
Our partner school proposes to you to stay in a residence for students, located 15-20 minutes from the course centre.

An outdoor swimming pool, a terrace allowing for barbecues, a gym and cinema room are part of the facilities. The apartments also include a common kitchen and dining room. In the lounge, you will be able to watch television in the evenings in the company of the other students of the residence. You will have access to a paying laundry room which includes all you need for doing your ironing.

Leisure

Barbecues on the beach, a rich cultural programme or football matches...you will inevitably find something to satisfy you in Auckland! Our partner school proposes an activities programme which will enrich your language study stay in New Zealand. If you are looking for strong emotions, you will be able to dive in a cage in the shark tank of Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium...shivers down your spine guaranteed!  A mountain bike ride, kayaking, or even rock climbing are possible in this region which offers an unlimited number of outdoor activities. For the less reckless, the school proposes excursions in the museums and art galleries of the city. You will have the opportunity to make friends with the other students during the quiz evenings organised by the school. It will also propose to you to discover the marvels of New Zealand. In the space of a weekend, you will have the opportunity to head into the forest in order to observe the gigantic Kauri trees, to practice boogie board on the sand dunes or even to discover the picturesque village of Russel. There's no risk of you getting bored in New Zealand!
