Homestay = Your Australian Family
AHN homestay is the ideal way to begin your new life in Australia. It's a great opportunity to live with a local family, experience the culture, and get to know the city you’ll be living in.
Secure and welcoming hosts
Our hosts offer more than rooms for rent; they offer a support system and an authentic interest in welcoming a student to Australia. All hosts undergo training, background checks, in-home interviews and home inspections to be part of the AHN community.
Your homestay host will provide you with an orientation, teach you local customs, help you improve your English and encourage you to participate in activities.
Value for money
Homestay is an excellent way to find your feet while you begin your studies and build the confidence to move to independent accommodation or share housing once you've settled in.
AHN has a range of meal packages to suit different needs and budgets. Accommodation, internet, and utilities are included in the cost, saving you from extra expenses.
