Homestay in Gatineau, Canada
We are a family of four, with a ten year old daughter and a four year old son. Before we had our kids we did a lot of travelling and we were fortunate to have explored many cultures in many parts of the world. With children, this isn't as easy so instead we are happy to open our home to the many people travelling to explore our culture and country.
Our home is located close to Ottawa downtown and is about a 40 minute bus ride to Ottawa University. I commute to work in Ottawa every day and this is an ideal location for it. We have a large home with lots of space to share. The house offers 4 bathrooms, 6 bedroom, a living room, kitchen, dining room, play room, and a family room (for the student to enjoy with a t.v) and a large backyard with an in ground swimming pool and hot tub!!
We offer our home with everything included for your convenience and we also are happy to pick you up from the airport for no charge. We have bicycles available to use if that interests you and it’s a beautiful bike ride to U. Ottawa and about 30 minutes to bike!!
We would love to hear from you and welcome you into our family. We are a family who speaks English fluently and French intermediately and we'd love to help you learn both.
