We have a beautiful room available for a longer term guest or guests.
The price is for room and all meals. Breakfast and lunch food is provided for you to choose from and we cook a meal nightly for dinner. Snack foods are also available
In our home you will be part of a caring and friendly family with my husband and myself, our daughter who is 21 (attending Canterbury University) and our homestay student.
My husband and I are self employed professionals with flexible hours so we can collect from the airport, show you around and we will have time to spend with you to help you settle in if you need that. We may also be able to help you with your studies depending on the subject.
We live in a beautiful recently built 5 bed 3 bathroom home in Wigram Skies. We have unlimited high speed fibre internet, central heating and air conditioning, unlimited gas hot water, wall mounted TV (with Apple TV, Netflix, Disney), and plenty of on street parking.
We are a few hundred metres from The Landing (stores, cafes, restaurants) and the bus stops that run to various places including Canterbury University and into the bus exchange and Christchurch City (for schools like Ara).
.We have a public tennis court directly across our small road that is free to use. There is also public gym equipment in the playing fields about 5-10 mins away.
Your room is fully furnished with a built in triple closet and full length mirror, near new double bed, drawers, desk, chair, and a lamp. We can provide bedding, towels and all other linen if you need.
The bathroom you will use can be the one next door to your bedroom and is the huge main bathroom with standalone bath. This would be shared with only female homestay guests (currently one other but may be 2).
As a family we enjoy movies, going out to dinner, cooking, camping, travelling, and board games. You are most welcome to join in family activities and trips if you want to.
Our meals are from a variety of cultures. We especially love trying out Chinese and Indian recipes. We also cook great kiwi food!
We have a cleaner who comes once a week. She cleans your bathroom and vacuums and dusts your room (if you wish). Your washing, choosing your breakfast/lunch from the food we provide, and general tidying of your room are your only responsibilities.
We would love for you to join our family!
