Structure
The focus of the program is the immersion into
New Zealand culture by staying with a New
Zealand family. Time is spent with the host
family in the weekday evenings and throughout
the free weekends. During weekday mornings the
group attends ESL (English as a second language)
or English activity lessons. In the afternoons
local activities are arranged which can include
sightseeing, adventure activities, cultural
visits, technical visits and volunteer help.
Overnight excursions to other major centres as
well as farmstays, are also an important part of
the group program. As well as being fun, these
excursions help create a strong bond within the
group which adds to the overall experience.

coordinated by Let's Homestay staff. Specialised
activities include experienced staff and
instructors. A 24 support service is provided
