Dear Host,
I hope you are doing well.
I came across your homestay listing in Greenhithe and am very interested in the possibility of staying with your family.
Let me briefly introduce myself. I am a father from China, and I am planning to move to Auckland with my two children, aged 10 and 5, in January 2027. Both children will be attending Greenhithe School.
We are hoping to find a friendly, welcoming local family to share a home with for approximately 12 months. Ideally, we would like to stay in a house where the host family also lives, rather than renting an entire property.
I noticed that your listing mentions a family-friendly environment, which is one of the reasons I am particularly interested in your home.
I would like to ask you a few questions:
Would you consider accommodating a father and his two children?
Would it be possible for us to have two bedrooms, or one sufficiently large bedroom for the three of us?
Would we be allowed to use the kitchen to prepare our own meals?
Does the weekly rent of NZ$270 include electricity, water and internet?
Would you consider a long-term stay of approximately 12 months, starting in January 2027?
How far is your home from Greenhithe School on foot?
We are a friendly and respectful family. We value a clean, peaceful and comfortable living environment. I would also be very happy to help with everyday household tasks, such as mowing the lawn, gardening, grocery shopping or occasionally preparing Chinese meals, if that would be helpful.
Our preferred total budget is up to NZ$350 per week for all three of us, ideally including electricity, water and internet.
We would really appreciate it if you could let us know whether this arrangement might be possible.
Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
A Father from China
