Tauranga is the smallest and most affordable of New Zealand's three main cities, and has been the country's fastest growing for years. It runs on the port, kiwi exports and tourism along the sunny Bay of Plenty coast. Buses cover the city and the Mount, winters are mild, summers warm, and Tauranga gets more sunshine than anywhere else in the country.

WHERE TO LIVE
Tauranga has three broad zones for international students, split by the harbour bridge and the southward stretch of beach. Where you land depends on your budget and how close to the surf you want to wake up.
Tauranga CBD · Greerton · Bethlehem. From NZ$270/week. Walking distance to most language schools, the waterfront, and the bus hub for the port and the Mount.
Mount Maunganui · Bayfair · Pilot Bay. From NZ$320/week. Across the harbour bridge - beach community, surf at the door, the Mount climb on your morning run.
Papamoa · Pāpāmoa East. From NZ$240/week. Further south along the beach: newer neighbourhoods, lower rents, 20 minutes by bus to the Mount and 30 to the centre.
Study, work, or both: we guide you every step of the way, from your visa and throughout your stay.
TESTIMONIALS
One of my best discoveries in recent years. An agency that responds immediately, effective at resolving any situation, with a highly coordinated team of professionals that ensures top-quality support throughout your experience. Australia without Australian Way wouldn't have been nearly as amazing. THANKS 🫂

I had issues with my WHV in Australia and ended up moving to New Zealand, and honestly, the support has been incredible. Eduardo gives you all the confidence and the push you need to start the adventure, and it's absolutely worth it. To anyone who's on the fence, the answer is YES!

What started as a temporary experience became a profound, wonderful life change. My daughter now lives in Melbourne, has obtained Australian citizenship, and has recently been offered a place to study Medicine.

We were already at check-in, just over an hour before the flight, when they spotted an issue with the visa. We contacted them and within minutes they told us exactly what to do and had it all sorted.

They applied for my visa on July 1st and got it approved on the first try. When I arrived in Sydney, they kept supporting and guiding me throughout my entire stay.

Work
Tauranga is the most affordable of New Zealand's three major cities: rent and food cost less than in Auckland or Queenstown. Cafés, shops, and the port hire year-round, and the kiwi harvest (March to May) is the peak season.
LIFESTYLE
Mount Maunganui is part of the daily routine: locals climb it in the morning and at sunset. The beach below is a year-round surf spot. Coromandel an hour to the north, Rotorua and its hot pools to the south. Over 2,400 hours of sunshine a year, more than anywhere else in the country.
Community
The international student community is smaller than Auckland's but growing fast: Tauranga has been New Zealand's fastest growing city for years. The Latin community is young, but plans come together quickly: within a week you'll be surfing with your crew.
