Accommodation in Burra
Most students stay locally for the duration of their course. Burra has shared houses and cottages, pubs and motels, a caravan park, and Airbnb options, most within walking or short driving distance of the centre.
Many students share a house with classmates to bring the weekly cost down. We'll add you to the student WhatsApp group once you enrol so you can sort housemates and lifts before the course starts.
