Homestay

Homestay is a room of your own in a suburban house, usually with a garden and lawns. Interacting with

meals, but home stay is not like living in a hotel. Some "give and take" is expected, as you become part
of the family. The cost is up to $210.00 per week. There is up to a $160.00 one off fee payable to the
home stay company who visit every home and interview every family. Many families have hosted
students for many years. They will match you with a family close to your needs for example, smoking,
non smoking, no children etc.

going through a rental agent. You will probably have to pay a bond and some rent in advance when you
first move in. Cost can be between $150 and $200 for a room then you must pay for food, electricity,
water etc.

introduced to your home stay family for free. This service is also available to those that have arranged
their own accommodation but who would like to be met on arrival in New Zealand for a fee.

requirement oftheir visa.Information on Auckland accommodation is available on the Study
