Why choose a homestay?
Homestay is all about connecting with your host family and sharing real-life experiences together. Living with Australians gives you a unique chance to join their daily routines, fun activities, sports, hobbies, dining out and shopping – while practicing your English naturally every day.
When you stay in a homestay, you become part of the family. You’re encouraged to join in on family outings, help with chores and connect through everyday conversations and activities.
When you choose a homestay, you can expect:
- Airport reception and farewell
- A clean, comfortable home environment
- Your own bedroom with furniture including a desk
- Three meals per day
- Access to laundry facilities, bathroom and internet
- Easy access to public transport (less than 50 minutes from the Adelaide CBD)
- Ongoing support from our Homestay Coordinator.
Your homestay family
Like most modern societies, Australian households come in many forms and their backgrounds can vary. Homestay hosts may be couples or individuals, with or without children. While their family structures may be different, our hosts all share an interest in language and culture, and are keen to learn about your background.
All homestay families are carefully interviewed, and their homes are visited to ensure a comfortable and safe environment. We aim to place you with a family that will best meet your needs – considering your preferences for family type, dietary requirements, pets, children and interests.
