Central Otago Accommodation
There is a range of accommodation available for students in the Cromwell area. You need to organise your accommodation before you arrive as it can be difficult to find accommodation at short notice in Central Otago. Our administration staff at our Cromwell campus keep a register of flats, houses and rooms and board available in the area. Students often post notices of available rooms and flats in the student common room. You could also try local papers, The Bulletin, The Mirror, and the Central Otago News.
Flatting privately
There are good houses to rent in Cromwell – usually furnished three or four bedroom homes costing between $85 and $120 per room per week in rent and $80 -$100 per week in expenses. Check the Central Otago newspapers and campus noticeboards for ‘flatmate wanted’ advertisements. Or, if you are looking to start a flat you could try real estate agencies such as First National, phone +64 3 445 1748 or Harcourts, phone: +64 3 445 1155.
