Top 8 homestays

The most wonderful thing about homestays is the cultural exchange – you’re learning about life in their community from your hosts, but they’re also learning a little about where you come from. You’ll find that our top eight homestays are usually located in remote, rural areas, where traditional, near self-sufficient ways of life dominate, and where guests are often encouraged to get involved with day-to-day activities from preparing meals to picking fruit or taking cattle out into the pastures to graze. This kind of vacation is the very essence of responsible travel: immensely beneficial to both the visitor and the community that welcomes them, and spreading the income of tourism to areas that typically don’t see a great deal of it.
