About Kew

Kew, located just a short distance from Dunedin, is an ideal neighborhood for international students seeking a welcoming homestay experience. Situated approximately 3 kilometers from the Dunedin Central Business District (CBD), Kew offers easy access to the city’s vibrant cultural, educational, and recreational facilities. The commute to the CBD is convenient, with regular bus services available, typically taking around 10-15 minutes. This allows students to enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful residential area with access to the bustling life of Dunedin.

For students attending the University of Otago or Otago Polytechnic, Kew is particularly well-positioned. Both institutions are within a short commute, making it easy for students to attend classes and participate in campus activities. In addition to its proximity to educational institutions, Kew is close to several parks and green spaces, perfect for leisurely walks or study breaks. The local community is friendly and supportive, providing a warm environment for international students to settle in and thrive. With its combination of accessibility, community spirit, and nearby attractions, Kew stands out as a fantastic choice for a homestay experience in New Zealand.

Currently we have 1 homestay host available in and around Kew.
