Homestay and Private English Lessons

​We invite you to come and immerse yourself in the English Language by staying at our perfectly located homestay.

You will enjoy conversing with our family members, joining us on weekend activities, eating delicious food and having 15 hours of private expert English tuition every week. All our previous homestays have loved the experience. Here is what some of them say!

Shoko, Japan

“This homestay is truly one I can highly recommend. I stayed here with English lessons included, and it was a wonderful experience. I honestly believe this might be the best homestay in New Zealand. I’m truly grateful, and for anyone looking for a homestay, I strongly recommend contacting Brett directly and making a booking.”
