“This is my first experience out of Brazil. I must say that it had never passed in my mind before just how great and happy it was living with you. I had so much fun and so many laughs. I considered you part of my family and you have a special place in my heart. Thanks for everything, I had a great time living with you and I will miss you so much. I learnt a lot about football and the song “ We are Geelong the greatest team of all” I feel like I have lived a big part of my life here and you gave me so many different experiences - Victoria, surfboards, all the plans and ideas I had in your house.
“I was very happy when I stayed with you. Although I only stayed with you 2 weeks I still think it’s was a good thing in my life and I hope you will remember me. You are my best host family. Sorry for my writing. When you go to Thailand you can ring me and I take care of you.

There Are So Many Perfect Happy Places For Students To Live When Choosing Homestay Accommodation
“When I first arrived I felt nervous and scary about everything. With your kind care I gradually got used to your place and enjoyed every moment in Melbourne. Besides the caring I appreciated your teaching which made me improve my English very fast. To me you are like a mother in Melbourne. You treat me like a daughter. I want to wish you a very healthy and happy life after I leave. I will definitely come and visit you occasionally. See you soon”.

"I highly recommend Homestay Direct Services and in particular Jan Campbell, for her professionalism, attention to detail and always going above and beyond for the homestay host as well as for the students she places. Nothing is ever too much trouble for Jan, and she is always available to help at any hour of the day and night in a genuine caring and positive way which makes it a pleasure to work with her and her agency. We highly recommend Homestay Direct services to everyone who need Accommodations."
SylvieSuper Host
"As a host, I have had dealings with homestay direct for several years and have found them to be professional and extremely helpful. Jan the director is delightful and always on hand to assist with any queries or just up for a good chat. The experience of having a student stay with me has been positive and truly educational: It really is an exchange. One learns of different cultures, lifestyles and whilst the students grapple with English I have managed to pick up a smattering of different languages. It’s all an adventure."
GiovinaSuper Host
“In the past 2 months we have had many good days. When I got sick my host mum looked after me. She was so kind to me and It made me think of my grandmother back home in Thailand as she looked after me when I was sick. Thank you for doing that. You taught me many new words and how to cook. I was proud every time somebody ask me about my homestay. For me it was perfect and I will miss you a lot but I will write to you often.”
JeanStudent
“When I arrived at my home from Japan I was so shy and very nervous but soon I became very happy because my host made me feel so welcome. They helped me with my English a lot. If I had not met you then my stay in Australia would have been a lot harder. I am very grateful to my Aussie mum and dad and I was very sad to say goodbye 7 months later. I will always keep in touch. Thank you for everything.”

Hosting has been a great learning experience for our family. The communication and organisation from Jan at Homestay Direct is exceptional. We highly recommend Homestay Direct Services and especially The Director Jan who become your Friend once you meet her. A Great Team for Accommodation services in Australia."
