Meet Gay
Outgoing, Open minded, Helpful
We have hosted many students from ages 7 up to 64 years of age. Many different nationalities including German, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Brazillian. I can say they all have their own unique aura.
On a typical day...
I’m mostly at home/work from home.
When I host guests...
I like to chat with them when they are home but have my own things going on.

Gay was a wonderful host - she ensured I had everything I needed during my stay and was always available to assist. The room was comfortable, located downstairs with your own bathroom & kitchenette so you have your own space. Definitely recommend staying here!

Gay and her family were very nice and welcoming and the room was perfect. We didn’t spend much time with them because we were working but I absolutely recommend this stay. We had everything we needed and felt very comfortable.

Gay and Hans were very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my stay very much and will invite them for dinner once I get settled in, in my new home in Reedy Creek

It was lovely staying with Gay and Hans! They made us feel like home, invited us to visit Byron Bay, and at the same time respected our privacy. The room was big, clean and beautifully decorated! With a beautiful bathroom and functional little kitchenette. Thank you for hosting us! It was a pleasure.
