ACCOMMODATION & AIRPORT PICKUP

Discover English can make accommodation arrangements upon request for homestay placements or student residence. All accommodation services we recommend are checked by Discover English, so you can be assured you are staying in a safe environment.

Homestay

We have an extensive homestay network that benefits students by introducing them to Australian culture and family life. Homestay facilitates cultural exchange and provides students with the opportunity to constantly practise English with Australian families. Students learn about Australian culture by immersing themselves in it, experiencing new food, activities, and attitudes.

Discover English approves all homestay providers and places students according to individual needs and preferences where possible. All homestays are located in Zone 1. There are two options available:

Half board: Includes breakfast and dinner weekdays and 3 meals on weekends.

Room only: Single room with no meals, but students can have access to the kitchen.

Student Lodge

If you would like a little more independence, Together Co-Living provides quality campus-style accommodation with everything you could want for making friends, having fun, and successful study. The lodge offers many great facilities including table tennis, billiards, student bar and restaurant, resort-style swimming pool and barbecue area.

The rooms for students include a microwave oven for heating up meals and there are also fully equipped kitchens where you can cook with other students and share costs. The lodge also offers a mix of free and cheap social activities like movie nights and barbecues so you can enjoy a great social life at a very low cost.

Shared Accommodation

Shared accommodation offers opportunities to live with other students from different nationalities. There are various options from single, twin share to dorm rooms. Other facilities included dining room, kitchen, living area. 

Hostel

Quite similar to shared accommodation but on a larger scale. The facilities include shared bathrooms, kitchen, coin laundry, gym, entertainment area and library. Short term to long term stay available in South Yarra and Collingwood.

Airport pick up

Discover English can arrange an airport pickup service upon request to transfer you from the airport to your chosen destination. The driver will greet you at the airport and take you to your homestay or other accommodation.

I FEEL LIKE I AM AT HOME AT MY HOMESTAY

I am so happy with my homestay family, I feel like I am at home…They look after me and they treat me like I am part of their family. If I have any problems or questions they always help me. Since I have been living with them my English has improved a lot, I believe I am having a real Australian experience. My mum homestay cooks delicious meals I have tried so many different kind of food. My homestay is very good located just 10 minutes from the city by train.

I am happy living with this family, I feel very comfortable, and they have made my experience away from my family much easier to handle.
