About AHN
AHN is the largest homestay network in Australia and we work with students from Japan, China, Europe, South America and a range of other locations!
We’re seeing more and more international students arriving in Melbourne and are actively searching for quality homestay hosts to provide accommodation for them.
One of the great experiences offered through hosting an international student is learning about other cultures as you get to share your own. Students will share their traditions, meals and beliefs with you and it is expected that you will include them in yours.

Marissa is a breath of fresh air. Such a delight and cooks sensational Brazilian food.
I am enjoying Liping Wang staying she is very bright and good company. A delightful guest to have in the house.
I enjoyed hosting the study tour group! We were outside playing soccer until sunset each afternoon. It was a great experience for the students and my family.
