Student and settlement support
New Zealand accommodation assistance for students and nurses
Arriving in a new country is easier when you know where you will sleep on the first night. We help students and nurses find and check suitable accommodation in New Zealand.
Students arriving for a course and nurses travelling for their OSCE or a new job have different needs. A student may want a room near campus for a year. A nurse sitting the OSCE may need a short stay close to the assessment centre, then something longer once work begins.
We help you understand the options, search for places that suit your budget and location, and check the details before you commit. We do not own or manage properties and we do not have exclusive housing partners; we help you find and assess what is available.
What our assistance includes
- Explaining the common options: halls of residence, homestays, shared flats and short stays
- Searching for options near your campus, assessment centre or workplace
- A checklist of what to confirm before paying a deposit
- Reading tenancy terms with you so there are no surprises
- Planning the first night: arrival time, getting there from the airport, keys and contacts
Documents to prepare
- Your arrival date and how long you need the accommodation
- Course or job location
- Your budget for rent and bond
This is a starting list. We confirm the exact documents for your situation.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have your own accommodation?
No. We help you find and check accommodation that is available on the market or through your institution.
How much does a room cost in New Zealand?
It depends on the city, the type of room and the season. We look at current listings with you rather than publish figures that go out of date.
Should I pay a deposit before I arrive?
Sometimes it is necessary, but only after checking the landlord, the agreement and how the bond is handled. We help you check before you pay.
