Hundreds of students and graduates each year are placed into hospitality or tourism placements or internships throughout New Zealand. One of our most popular destinations is the stunning Queenstown area which is New Zealand's tourism and extreme sports capital. For more information on the area check out the link below and you will see the stunning scenery, mixed with extreme sports like bungy jumping, jet boating and New Zealand's top ski fields - This all makes Queenstown a top place to visit or if you're lucky to work and play in.

A couple of websites for you to have a look at:

Queenstown: www.queenstown-nz.co.nz and Auckland: www.aucklandnz.com

Hospitality Internships - We can place you into 3, 4 and 5 star properties throughout New Zealand with Auckland being the second most popular choice for hospitality interns after Queenstown. Auckland (where Jon from Intern Options is from) is the largest city and close to great beaches, lots of islands and big for tourism - as it is the arrival and departure point for New Zealand. Check out the website above for more information on Auckland.

Tourism Internships - Again we can place you anywhere in New Zealand with the most popular destinations being Queenstown and Auckland. You have a choice of being placed into a paid position in a tourist attraction, tourism operator or travel and tourism company for between 6 and 12 months.

Internships or work placements are available for between 6 or 12 months and all New Zealand positions in hospitality and tourism are paid positions. Your wage will be set by your employer, so each property will be different but you will be paid between NZ$12 and NZ$18 per hour. For accommodation - there is the possibility of subsidised staff accommodation if you are working in a hotel or resort, but each employer is different so we cannot guarantee this.

For information on what is included in the New Zealand programme and programme fees please see our New Zealand Internship Programme page.

Australian Hospitality Programme - Paid

Our Australian Hospitality Internship programme has been designed by hospitality professionals to give you the kick start you need in an internationally recognised destination. Australian hospitality placements are available Australia wide with the majority of placements on the East coast of Australia and Melbourne where the weather is stunning and the beaches are sunny and the water is warm and unpolluted. Internship positions are available in hotels, restaurants and resorts for 6, 9 or 12 months long. We only place into the best four and five star properties so you are assured of a top quality placement that will have future employers snapping you up.

Your wage in either resort, restaurant or hotel will usually be between AU$12 and AU$20 per hour. Accommodation is often subsidised staff accommodation but this is down to the individual employer so we cannot guarantee this.
