What People Say About Us

Hear from our students, parents, and host families

Thank you for everything you have done for and with our son. He is absolutely delighted with his trip to New Zealand. He was listening to a movie in English and telling me how much he was surprised to be more comfortable with that language.

Marie L.

Parent of international student

We've had a young man staying with us for the past 6 months and it's been great. Everything is clear and simple with Happy Homestay – easier than flatmates by far.

Danielle

Happy Homestay has successfully placed 2 students with us. It has been an awesome experience, one that our whole family has enjoyed. Thank you for the opportunity to enrich our lives.
