Accommodation
Homestay accommodation options.
Many students are keen to experience the New Zealand lifestyle while they are studying with us, and homestay accommodation offers an excellent opportunity to do so.

Homestay services
Under 18 international students must live with a homestay, with a designated caregiver, or parent(s). You may not live in any other type of accommodation while you are under 18 and all accommodation types are subject to the approval of the education provider. We highly recommend students to live with a homestay. It is a great way to start your New Zealand experience and help you to settle in the new environment. A homestay is your home away from home.
UP Education and our partner Host Families NZ make sure all homestays are safe and suitable for our students. Each home is police vetted, inspected, and families are interviewed before students are placed with the, and regularly visited during students’ stay to ensure their experience remains positive and compliant with the Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice 2021.
Please note: Accommodation Placement Fee, Designated Caregiver Assessment Fee or Airport pick up fee are non-refundable once the arrangement is confirmed.
