Read more to see how you could become a host family ...

Now that international travel is opening up we are currently enlisting new host families. If you
are a family who has some spare time for hosting an independent international tertiary-aged
student in your home, please contact us (details below).

Host families will receive a weekly payment, along with support and training to assist with
hosting.

Some requirements are that hosts should have a well maintained home, a spare room for a student and enough space to cater for another resident in your home. We look for hosts who are interested in sharing their home, embracing a different culture and offering occasional support. This can be a very rewarding experience.

Hosts should live within 8-10 kilometres of Dunedin city and be on a good bus route to the city.

If this is you, please email us at homestay@otago.ac.nz or phone us on 479 4184 or 479 5710 to find out more!
