Summer Accommodation FAQs
Can I stay in my current room during my Summer booking?
Whilst we do our best to continue your bookings in the same room, there is a chance your current room may be closed over the summer period for maintenance or commercial summer. Your Residence Team will let you know if you need to move rooms for your Summer booking.
Is there a deposit or application fee for Summer bookings?
No application fee is required for summer bookings. You will be charged your first fortnight instalment, and this needs to be paid to confirm your Summer booking prior to arrival.
Do I have to book for the whole Summer term?
No, the minimum length booking is two weeks (14 days). To cancel a summer booking, you need to give two or more weeks notice - this is outlined in the booking agreement you need to sign and return to confirm your booking.
Im a student from a different tertiary institute (or the University of Auckland) doing an internship in Auckland for the summer, can I stay in your Accommodation?
Yes, students from any New Zealand Tertiary Institute completing a Summer Internship in Auckland are welcome to stay with us at Te Tirohanga and University Hall Apartments. *Please note that we cannot be flexible with our term dates, so you will need to find alternative Accommodation if your internship starts earlier or runs later.*
