Connecting students with Kiwi families throughout New Zealand.

Our mission is simple: to connect students and interns with safe and friendly Kiwi families.

Creating meaningful connections that extend beyond borders, we strive to foster a warm and secure environment for international students by linking international students with welcoming Kiwi families, ensuring a home away from home experience.

See what past students and families have said.

"My experience being a host family and hosting a student has been far beyond my expectations. It's really beneficial for my son as well because he gets to learn from so many people about where they're from. I've had 20 students with Host Families over the past year."

"I feel very happy here and I very like here. I'm very enjoying the food. And I think the people here are very, very friendly."

Student

"My kids have grown up having different students around with all sorts of different cultures, which has given them the benefit of knowing about other cultures, other traditions, and my daughter has even learnt a little bit of Japanese from one of the students we hosted!"

Bella

Host family

"Since 2015, we've had 53 students. Each was individual and it was lovely having each one of them. The favourite part is I love cooking: we have a roast day, dessert day, fish and chips day, stir fry day, good variety. Host Families has really good communication - I highly recommend them."
