The Wellbeing Team or SANITI, the student association, can advise on accommodation options for domestic or international learners in Nelson and Marlborough. We recommend arranging accommodation as early as possible, especially if you aim to arrive during the busy summer months (December to February).
NMIT does not manage accommodation bookings on your behalf, so you will need to contact providers directly to secure a place.

Homestays are a great way to experience life with a New Zealand family, learn the culture firsthand, practice your English, and settle into your new environment. It's the perfect way to settle into a new city, country, or environment—especially if it’s your first time living away from home.
All homestay accommodation includes a private furnished room and internet access.
Homestay options
Homestay families are carefully selected in line with the Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice 2021. International students under 18 years of age must stay in an approved under-18 homestay.
