In a traditional Homestay most meals are provided and you have a fully furnished private room in a nice, safe home. Your linen and bedding are provided you and your electricity and gas bills are included.
Importantly, you do not need to provide a bond.
We specialise in homestays, offering great value and a dedicated team of caring professionals who ensure you have the ultimate safe, enjoyable and worthwhile learning experience.
Homestay families can mean flatmates, singles or couples with or without children.
Your application will ask about your family situation, pets and student preferences and our job is to match students to the family that most suits.
Homestay is a cultural exchange where students live with an Australian family.
Families need to be easy to understand and have a good level of English. A single bedroom, linen, towels, a quiet area to study and most importantly a safe, relaxed, friendly, nurturing family atmosphere need to be provided.
Most Homestays include all dinners, daily breakfasts on a serve yourself basis and serve yourself lunches on weekends. Some students opt to buy and prepare their own meals.
Please let us know your preferences when you apply.
