Lucas Ferreira | Student
Sydney, NSW
Staying with an Australian family through Homestay Plus was the best way to start my life here. My host made me feel truly welcome, and I learned so much about daily life, like how to make Vegemite toast (still not sure I like it!). Everything was clearly organised, and I felt well looked after by both my host and Homestay Plus.
Aiko Tanaka | Student
Melbourne, VIC
I was very nervous at first because I didn't speak English when I arrived, but my host family was patient and kind. The house was clean and calm, which helped me feel safe and study. Homestay Plus was always quick to respond and professional. I also loved how close the house was to the public transport. Thank you for helping me feel comfortable in a new country.
Francesca Rossi | Student
Brisbane, QLD
My host family made me feel like a real part of their home. We had dinner together most nights, and they even took me to a local weekend market. Homestay Plus made the whole process easy, and I liked knowing someone was always there if needed. Grazie!
Niran Chaiyasit | Student
Perth, WA
Homestay Plus matched me with a host who respected my culture and helped me improve my English every day. I had my own space but also felt included. I also liked that they checked in before my arrival to make sure everything was okay.
Li Wei | Student
Gold Coast, QLD
My experience with Homestay Plus was very smooth. The information was clear, and they worked closely with my agent in China. The host family helped me understand the Australian culture, and I felt supported. I appreciated the balance between privacy and feeling connected.
Tomoye Family | Parents of Haruki (16)
Brisbane, QLD
As a parent, sending Haruki abroad was a big step for our family. But Homestay Plus gave us trust. The process was smooth and clear. From the moment he arrived, Haruki felt safe and supported. He told me, ‘They listen to me and always ask how I’m doing.’ That gave us peace of mind. Thank you to everyone involved. It really made a difference.
Santos Family | Parents of Mika (17)
Sydney, NSW
We would like to thank Homestay Plus and Mika’s host family for taking such good care of her. Her host family is thoughtful, respectful, and helped her adjust to a new culture. We could see how much she was growing. She said, ‘It’s different, but I feel like I belong here.’ It means a lot to know she is in a safe and welcoming place. We are very thankful for this experience.
