About Our Homestays
Get a taste of New Zealand lifestyle.
Homestays remain a popular option with international students as a way in which to engage conversational English outside of taught lessons, and to experience their time in New Zealand from a ‘kiwi’ perspective. We offer homestay but it is subject to availability.
All homestays include breakfast and dinner Monday – Friday, and all meals during weekends and Public Holidays.
