Homestay

Homestay - AUD200 per week

Around 75% of our students request homestay. This is where we place a student in the home of an Australian family. Students stay in a single private room and receive breakfast and dinner 7 days a week, plus lunch on the weekends. We carefully select only families who are friendly and kind, have a pleasant and comfortable house and who are genuinely interested in welcoming students into their home. All our families must present us with a Police Clearance.

Homestay is the best option for students who are keen to practice their English. There is opportunity for conversation over dinner and interaction on the weekends. Our families often include students in family activities such as weekend BBQ’s or a trip to the cinema. Many students need support and assistance when they first arrive in a foreign country and homestay can offer this security. Some of our students have formed lifelong friendships with their host families.

We try our best to place students close to the city and can guarantee a travelling time of 15 - 40 minutes on the bus or train. However, Australian cities are spread out and homestay families rarely live in the city centre.

Students stay in a single private room in the home of an Australian person. Students have access to the kitchen to prepare their own food, as well sharing bathroom and living facilities. There is opportunity for interaction, although houseshare students are usually more independent. In some cases, there may be another international student sharing the home.

APARTMENTS

Apartment accommodation suits students who enjoy their independence. Many enjoy the experience of sharing an apartment with a friend or classmate.

Townsend Lodge

Hostel/Backpackers - AUD196 per week

Townsend Lodge is a backpackers' hostel in Perth ’s city centre, 2 minutes’ walk from Milner College . Students stay in single private rooms and share a bathroom with other residents. In each room there is a single bed (includes linen), desk & chair, bookshelf and wardrobe. There are a few double rooms available – the “Studio Double” costs AUD62 per night and has its own ensuite bathroom and kitchenette. The “Standard Double” costs AUD48 per night and has a double bed instead of a single.

There is a large communal kitchen where students can store their food and prepare their own meals. Townsend also has its own café and a large comfortable living area with access to cable television. There is a shared laundry with washing machines, irons and ironing boards.
