Hi there,

We live in a modest 5 bedroom house in the suburb of Hillcrest on the North side of Auckland City. Our location is situated in a safe, clean and quiet residential area. We are also only 20 minutes from Auckland City by bus.

Our family home is mostly suited for students who wish to stay the minimum of 3 months or more.

Close by are supermarkets, restaurants, library, medical center, pharmacy, fitness center, swimming pools, and shopping malls.

We have been hosting for over 10 years now and we are still loving it. It's kind of like our children haven't even left home yet.

If you have any other questions you would like to ask me, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you for stopping by. God bless!

Additional Info

We have been hosting overseas students now for over 10 years from all over the globe and we thoroughly enjoy the company and learning the different cultures. We've head students stay with us from 6 months up to 2 years because they love it here which tells you a lot. We speak english in the house everyday and to our new students who speak very little English. We try and help and teach our homestay students as much as we can to give them a head start with their studies. We sit down and help with their homework which is lot of fun because we enjoy doing it. We are one big happy family.

About the Area

Our house is located on the north side of Auckland and is only approx. 20 mins to Auckland City by bus.

We are also approx. 27kms from the airport which is approx. 30 mins drive off peak.

The bus stop is only a 2 minute walk from the house and there are lots of bus options to and from using this stop.

We are so close to the city which is full of trendy cafes, bars and restaurants as well as some nice fashion boutiques and specialist shops.

Very importantly we are only 20 minutes from Auckland City by bus so you will have easy access to all Colleges, Schools and Universities. All buses come every 10-15minutes during peak hours to and from our location. Very handy indeed to the CBD.

House Rules

The only house rules we have are the ones we have grown up with and respected all our lives. We treat our overseas students like our own children. So bearing that in mind it's just a matter of common sense. We are a one unit family so we are all under the same rules. Treat others as they would treat you.

Please enjoy your stay and treat our home as you would treat your own home.

PAYMENT METHOD :

Please note that we require our guests to pay 50% of the booking total to us in advance of the booking to hold your room (on top of the 15% deposit that is paid to Homestay.com). The balance to be paid on arrival.

If you would like to be picked up from the airport I can easily arrange for that at no cost.

We ask our guests to please give us at least 30 days notice for any cancellation. Any cancellation later than this will not be refunded.
