Once NZLC receives full payment and flight details of the student, the accommodation staff can begin to arrange a homestay.
In an NZLC homestay, students will be provided with a furnished single room, breakfast and dinner on weekdays and three meals on weekends if they are at the homestay. There is an additional NZD 30 fee for vegan, halal and lactose-free options for meals.
NZLC accommodation staff will do their best to find a homestay that matches the interests and preferences mentioned on the enrollment form. Twin share and Full Board options are also available upon request particularly for family and friends. They get a NZD 20 off the original weekly rate.
Homestay Arrangement: NZLC homestay arrangements may be varied only through NZLC, not directly with the Homestay. NZLC may vary the student’s homestay arrangements at their sole discretion if it is fit to do so.
Homestay Change: Any change to the homestay arrangement will incur a fee. A second Homestay Arrangement fee applies and 2 weeks’ notice must be given.
Extension with the same homestay: If students wish to stay longer in the same homestay, they must inform NZLC accommodation staff at least 2 weeks in advance. A second homestay is subject to availability.
Check in is the weekend prior to the course start date and check out is the weekend of the course completion.
If NZLC is not satisfied with the submitted “NZLC Education Consultant Appointed Homestay” or “Designated Caregiver” forms, or with the interview process, a $250 assessment and processing fee will apply. A $250 assessment and processing fee will be charged for all students who intend to stay with a “Designated Caregiver” for 5 weeks or longer.
The City Accommodation option must be chosen and stated on the enrolment form. Once this is received, NZLC will contact the accommodation provider to check the availability. If the selected option is available, NZLC will make the pre-booking and this will be stated on the offer letter. If payment is not made within the payment period outlined in Conditions of Enrolment / Enrolment Procedure, the booking request may be automatically cancelled.
If the selected option is not available, students must send their alternative option. Once NZLC receives the full payment and flight details, the booking will be confirmed.
NZLC can check the availability in advance if the student’s full name, gender, nationality, date of birth, check-in date and check-out date is sent. No booking can be made until NZLC receives the enrollment.
Airport transfer services can be arranged as soon as NZLC receives the full payment and flight details of the student.
