Good Homestay is a homestay agency that provides accommodations to international students by matching them with suitable host families. Our goal is to ensure they have a safe and comfortable home while adjusting to a new environment away from their home country.
With just over a decade of experience in the industry, Good Homestay has established strong connections with numerous host families across New Zealand and Australia. In recent years, we have focused on offering homestays in Auckland, Tauranga, and Christchurch, with further expansion our network to Australia in 2024.
Good Homestay has started as a small family-run business in 2014 by Hiro Miyata, with a desire to build a connection between New Zealand and Japan. We have pursued this mission by assisting Japanese students in finding their first accommodation through homestays upon their arrival in overseas.
Witnessing students gain countless unique and unforgettable positive experiences with their host families through homestays, we expanded our network to include international students from other regions/countries such as Latin America, the Middle East, and Thailand starting in 2018.
Through our 10 years in the homestay industry, Good Homestay has successfully helped more than 5,000 international students from 27 countries around the world experience homestays. We also work closely with some of the leading language schools in New Zealand such as NZLC – New Zealand Language Centres, Worldwide School of English, and many other agencies from overseas.
Good Homestay is currently seeking new host families to join our homestay network in Auckland, Sydney and Melbourne. If you or your family are interested in becoming hosts, please register today, and we will be in touch with you shortly!
