Homestay Accommodation
Our school will be expecting a group of Korean students this November and as such we need families to offer Homestay Accommodation for a short period. Students are placed two per home, they can share a room but must have their own bed. You will be fully supported through the length of the student’s stay and families will be remunerated. This is a great opportunity for the school and families to share and learn about our two cultures.
If you would like more information or to apply as a Homestay, please contact our Homestay Facilitator Debbie Daniell at debbie@nzstudentcare.com Please make sure you mention “Maraetai Beach School” and include your phone number in the email.
