Summer Accommodation FAQs
My current 2024 booking finishes on the 27 or 28 November 2024, but the Summer Term doesnt start until the 30 November 2024 - what do I do for these days in-between?
If you are currently in-room, your Residence Team will see this when they are creating your Summer booking, and will ensure the start date lines up with the end date of your current booking unless you advise otherwise.
Summer Terms finish 8 February 2025, but I applied for the 2025 Academic Year that starts 12 February 2025 - what do I do for the period in between?
Once you have a confirmed 2025 booking, you can email your Residence Team to extend your Summer booking to line up with the start date of your 2025 booking.
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 only. *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.*
