Accommodation Options

Christchurch is a university city and has a ready supply of well priced good quality accommodation within easy commuting distance of the Academy.

Accommodation in Christchurch

The cost of living in Christchurch is cheaper than in Auckland, especially accommodation as it’s an easy city to live and study in as everything is close and conveniently located. However, you will need a car, bike or a ride share to study at IAANZ as the public transport system ends at Christchurch International Airport and we are located on the other side of the runway. The plus side is everything in Christchurch is close and the city is easy to get around and you have fantastic views from the Academy.tance of the Academy.

Private Rental

Flatting is the most popular type of accommodation for our students. It offers an independent lifestyle and is a great option if you know a few people who will be in your intake or know someone with a spare bedroom to rent. The price per room varies depending on location from $150 to $200 per week and power is around $30 per week.

If you intend to go flatting, you will need independent living skills such as cooking and cleaning. Your flat will be checked on average every three months by a landlord to ensure a clean standard is maintained.

A 3 bedroom house, with a single garage can cost approx. $450—$550 or more per week depending on the area, the age of the house and other facilities offered, i.e white ware.
