Accommodation

Accommodation

Kaplan Aspect Cairns knows how important accommodation is to students. We want to ensure that all students are happy and comfortable in the accommodation of their choice. We have our own Accommodation Officer on staff and they are responsible for ensuring that all students are placed in accommodation as requested and booked. Our Accommodation Officer can also help students with any questions they may have during their stay.

Homestay

Accommodation

Homestay is a great way to learn more about Australia and the way of life here. Living with a family allows students to practice their English, learn more about the Australian way of life and have the support of a family while settling into life in Cairns.

Kaplan Aspect carefully inspects and selects families who have a genuine interest in students. The families are caring and helpful. Our Accommodation Officer regularly inspects homes to ensure that the facilities and arrangements are of an excellent quality. Our host families live all around Cairns and travel time to IH from the homestay ranges between 10 and 20 minutes. Many students can ride a bike to the school from their homestays.

Host families provide breakfast and dinner during the week and breakfast, lunch and dinner on the weekends. Students can select single or shared homestay and are free to select the length of time they wish to stay.

Kaplan Aspect has special orientation information for students going into homestay and this will help you settle into your accommodation. Our Accommodation Officer is there to assist students with any questions at any time.
