Milford, North Shore, Auckland
(note that the $350 per week includes all food)
An opportunity to be in a homestay with a genuine sociable kiwi family
We will have both the upstairs and downstairs bedrooms available from the end of February 2025. The downstairs bedroom is available now.
So, an opportunity to live in a homestay with a friend!
However, you are in New Zealand to improve your English, so yes, we would like you to speak English as much as possible. We would like you to be sociable!
The house is a comfortable home in a safe suburb of Milford on the North Shore, Auckland.
We are a couple in our active 60s and son (early 30s) who did LLB/BCom at UoA
(Our other kids have now left home!)
Breakfast cereal /toast is provided for you to make breakfast
Lunch make your own sandwiches, fried rice etc with food provided.
Dinner will be made for you.
There may be occasions when you will need to prepare your own food from materials and ingredients provided.
Myself and/or husband might go on holiday, or be otherwise out of Auckland. So, this would become a flatting situation if we're away long term.
