WE CURREVRLY DO NOT HSHE A ROOM AVAILABLE AHD DONT YET HAVE A DATE FOR WHEH WE WILL.
In our home you will be part of a caring and friendly family with my husband, myself, our daughter (who is 21) and our two current homestays (who are 28 and 34).
My husband and I are self employed professionals with flexible hours so we will have time to spend with you and help you settle in if you need. We may also be able to help you with your studies depending on the subject.
We have a shy cat who is very friendly when he gets to know you. We also have an affectionate and loveable Spoodle dog. He is quiet and loves cuddles!
We live in a beautiful (5 year old) 5 bed 3 bathroom home in Wigram Skies. We have unlimited high speed fibre internet, central heating and cooling, unlimited gas hot water, and on street parking.
We are only a few hundred metres walk to The Landing (stores, cafes, restaurants, gym, cinema,supermarket) and the bus stop that runs to various places including the bus exchange in Christchurch central city and the University of Canterbury.
Your room is fully furnished with a double built in closet, double bed, wall mounted tv (with Apple TV), drawers and desk. We can provide bedding, towels and any other linen if you need.
The main bathroom is the one you will use. Our female homestay students are the only ones to share this bathroom.
As a family we enjoy movies, going out to dinner, cooking, camping, travelling, board games and talks over dinner. You are most welcome to join in any family activities and trips if you want or none at all. We have a family dinner out, at a new restaurant each time, at least once a month which is included in your board.
We cook evening meals from a variety of cultures. We also cook a lot of great kiwi food! We are happy to cater to your requirements however vegan is not possible. We all sit down together for a meal every night and talk.
We have a cleaner named Sue who comes once a week to clean the whole house including your bathroom and vacuums and dusts your bedroom (if you want her to). So your only tasks are washing your clothes, making your breakfast /lunch (with the food we provide), and general tidying of your room. Though we do all clean up after dinner together which we find is a nice way to end the evening talking.
We consider our homestays a part of our family and we are there to support you in any way we can. Two of our past homestays have come from other homesray placements where they were given different food, excluded from family events and restaurant dinners, and made to babysit children. This is NOT what a homestay is supposed to be like. You are supposed to be a part of the family so PLEASE don’t settle for anything less.
