The village is nestled in native bush land bordering the college campus and consists of individual dormitories, each with eight students in twin rooms with en-suite facilities. Fully air-conditioned facilities include individual kitchens, dining and lounge areas, outdoor entertainment areas, a supervised study centre with a practice room, as well as a shared vegetable garden and citrus plantation.
