Homestays are carefully selected and offer students the opportunity to learn more about the local culture in a comfortable setting while studying English in Whitianga. These homes are often between 1 - 20 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine. If you have special requests or diet restrictions (because of religion or health reasons), please let us know in advance. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about homestay housing
The Coromandel Peninsula is New Zealand’s favourite holiday destination. People from Auckland, Hamilton and other cities come here to relax on the white sandy beaches, enjoy fishing, surfing, other marine sports and life in the beach towns.
Framed by native Pohutukawa trees on the western side, beautiful white sandy beaches in the east and divided by ranges cloaked in native rainforest, the Coromandel’s 400 kms of coastline offer the visitor a truly distinctive blend of experiences.
The most important attribute of The Coromandel is our people. Known as friendly, relaxed and welcoming. They look forward to meeting you and sharing their little paradise with you.
The weather in New Zealand is changeable, so please be prepared for all kinds of weather. We recommend that you bring a raincoat with you, as well as warm clothes, swim wear and a hat.
