Homestays are very carefully chosen to provide international students with a warm, friendly, family environment.

You can choose a home with student age children or a home with no children; you could choose a home in one of the regions four towns or you might choose a homestay on a farm. We could even arrange a home stay which has horses to ride. On enrolment we will ask you what sort of homestay you prefer.

$385.00 a week is paid by you to your homestay family to cover the cost of food, power and transport – see the International Student fees section.
