Gold Coast Host Payments

They were an absolute pleasure to host. So many laughs and when they left, tears. Amazing how much of a bond can be made in only 11 days. Miri and Rina will always be apart of our family.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our homestay experience. We have learnt a lot from our students. We have made some lifelong friends and have acquired some ‘daughters’ since we became homestay parents.

We are so happy to host Lily. She is very nice person, polite and respectful. As we have our own children, we treated her as our own too. Understood that she was far away from home and her family. We tried to help her to settle living in Australia. Also so glad that we received positive feedback from Lily. Hope all the best for her study and future. looking fwd to host another student.

Steven has become such an integral part of our family, we all love him to bits. He easily settled in with us, and we all enjoy our “family dinners”.

Hosting can be a very enjoying experience, and communication is the key to success. We have been able to assist with varied emotional experiences helping our girls adapt to life in Australia.

Joe has become my surrogate son! Such a lovely young man, and we will be in contact for years to come.

Our time together was incredibly joyous, filled with laughter, cultural exchanges, and the creation of lasting memories.

We are eagerly looking forward to hosting more guests and are committed to being the best hosts we can be, creating a warm and welcoming environment for all who stay with us.

I have a great relationship with all my homestays. I still keep in touch with them through Facebook, Instagram, Wechat and meals out with the students.

Our family have been hosting for AHN for many years and have found hosting to be one of the most rewarding gifts that just keeps on giving! Homestay is not just an opportunity to share our home and the Gold Coast, but hosting students provides a unique opportunity to learn about their country, their people and culture.

I am enjoying having the students in my home as I live by my self and it’s nice to have someone to cook for again and the company is great. Thank you very much. I am very happy.

He is wonderful young lad. Very easy going, happy and independent. He is determined to do well, loves chatting and just spending time. A great student. I feel very lucky to be his host.

Minami is an absolute delight to have as part of our family! She is loving getting involved in all our activites and especially swimming at the beach with us and was so excited to see dolphins at our local beach the other day. She is keen to be a part of everything, which is great!

Sogen is an absolute pleasure to have stay. He is extremely polite and excited to eat and learn Australian culture. His English is getting stronger every day.

I was hesitant about taking a student from Saudi Arabia, but I will never prejudge any student again. He was polite, spoke great English, respectful and so helpful. I keep in touch with him, his wife and his two children and he calls me his Oz mum. I was even the first person to find out that he passed the first component of his PHD. I currently have a student from Saudi Arabia although some 15 years younger he is also wonderful.

Sho was an excellent student. Actually almost all your students are top notch respectful people. We miss their presence in the house.

Our students loved our safe, family life and enjoyed the personal attention they received. We involved our family and it was always a treat to experience the new culture. It was important to us that the students experience the Australian way of life.

Having an internstional student has certainly changed our perception of Japanese culture and it will be difficult to say goodbye when her stay ends. We have had no problem in overcoming any barriers during her homestay.

Good student and really happy share our experiences living in Australia. She also introduced a lot Japanese culture. Thanks AHN give us opportunity to host.

We absolutely loved Nobu! He was our first ever home stay and he set the bar so high! What a wonderful, optimistic, creative, human being! The experience was so rewarding for us and he is already so missed!

We have done homestay for 9 1/2 years and had some awesome experiences and shared amazing memories with our students.

The most rewarding thing about becoming a homestay host is getting respected and numerous fiends all over the world and they treat you like their second mum.

Very polite and helpful young man. Has fitted into our family lifestyle extremely well.

Seven years ago, we accepted our first homestay student. We originally decided to become homestay parents to put some additional funds into our mortgage, however we quickly discovered that like most things in life, the more you put in, the more you get back.

Shunkai is a delight to have stay in our home. He is very respectful and has a great sense of humour. Very happy to have him stay with us.

Kanako is such a lovely girl and we are having such a great time with her. She is learning a lot of English with us and is helping my daughter with her Japanese too!

We have throughly enjoyed having Tuk with us. We are definitely going to miss his presence in our home. He has been an absolute delight to have with us. We are looking forward to future students staying with us 🙂
