Your home away from home
Good accommodation is just as important as the place where you study.
Living with a New Zealand host family is the most popular choice for our students. It’s the perfect way to experience the ‘Kiwi’ lifestyle and receive extra support outside of classes.
Students who choose a homestay can expect to help out with chores, enjoy family meals and socialise with their host family - just like everyone else in the household will be doing.
Why homestay?
With a CCEL homestay family, you’ll enjoy:
- A single room with a bed and place for your clothes
- A heater and desk in your room
- Breakfast and dinner during the week (Monday - Friday)
- 3 meals at the weekend and on public holidays
- Free Internet access (reasonable use)
All of our homestay families are carefully selected and monitored.
Most students find living with one of our host families a fun and valuable experience, but if you’re having difficulty adjusting to life in New Zealand you can always talk to your homestay family or CCEL’s Accommodation Team for support.
