Accommodation

Host family
Known for their hospitality, staying with a New Zealander family during your stay in Queenstown is the best possible way to get acquainted with the “kiwi" way of life. Our partner school carefully selects host families, who generally live around 30 minutes away from the school. You will stay in a single room with half board provided.

Leisure

Using your English in a sports or social context is a very good way of developing your skills which you have acquired in class. For this reason, our partner school offers a different programme of activities each week. With activities such as bungee jumping, rafting, kayaking, horse riding, handgliding, mountain biking and sailing...it's difficult to get bored in Queenstown, a paradise for outdoor sports! During the winter, splendid slopes await lovers of skiing and snowboarding. For going out in the evening with your friends, you will be spoilt for choice with the numerous bars and cafés of the city.
