Homestay in Blackburn

Hi, I’m Michelle, and I’d love to welcome an international student or traveller into our home in Blackburn. Our house has a relaxed, cosy feel, and friends and family often describe it as comfortable, inviting and easy to settle into.

You’ll be living with Dave and me. We’re friendly, respectful and enjoy sharing a calm, positive home environment. We’re always happy to chat and include you in day-to-day life, but we also understand if you’re busy studying, working or simply want your own space.

Our home is in a convenient Blackburn location, close to public transport, including the train station, making it easy to travel around Melbourne. Blackburn is a peaceful, leafy suburb with local shops, parks, cafés and everyday essentials nearby. It is also well located for students, with easy access to Box Hill, Deakin University in Burwood, and train connections into the city for universities such as RMIT, the University of Melbourne and other Melbourne campuses.

I love cooking, so you can expect plenty of delicious home-style meals if you choose to include a meal plan. We enjoy good conversation, learning about different cultures and helping students and travellers feel safe, supported and welcome while they’re living in Australia.

We’d love to help you feel at home and enjoy your time in Melbourne.
