We are an English speaking, two child kiwi family with no pets that have hosted students since the beginning of 2015. As most of our students have stayed longer term, we have only hosted students from China, Korea, Singapore, Germany, Italy and Argentina to date.

2 single rooms with desks available. We have had a one-child family stay with us (for a year) while settling into New Zealand, so are open to negotiation with couples (double room available on request) and small families.

Price includes:
- accommodation (including water, power, Internet)
- use of clothes washing machine
- dinner.

Our family sometimes goes away camping, climbing and walking some weekends. Younger students may need to come with us and older students are welcome to if they would like to experience some other areas and outdoor activities in New Zealand. We also enjoy music; our home has a good touch sensitive keyboard available for pianists / keyboard players to use (respectfully) and students with other instruments most welcome!
