We’re Livingstone and Rachael, your Kia Ora Homestay hosts, and we’re excited to welcome international students into our home.

Since September 2023, we’ve hosted over 60 international students from Japan, South Korea, Thailand, China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Our passion for hosting has inspired us to launch our own homestay business in 2025, providing quality, personalized service in simple, all-inclusive packages.

We look forward to welcoming students from all over the world and providing them with a memorable and enriching homestay experience.
