About Us
A Modern Home In the Heart of Bukit Timah
Tucked in the Bukit Timah residence, our homestay at Jalan Jurong Kechil is surrounded by a wonderful dining enclave with a wide array of affordable eats.
Located within a stone’s throw from the Beauty World MRT (downtown line), the homestay is easily accessible to popular attractions in Singapore including the Botanic Gardens, Little India, Chinatown and the bustling Orchard Road.
Housed in a three-storied semi-detached apartment, our homestay is well managed and has been a leading homestay choice for many local and international students. Over the past years, we have students from the Germany, Malaysia, China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, Russia and Vietnam living with us and it has always been a great joy hosting our foreign friends. Most of our students stay more than 2 years with us and saying goodbye is one of the hardest feeling at Gohing Home Homestay.
We understand the unfamiliarity when residing in a foreign land and we always try our best to be involved in our student’s life and help them feel at ease at our home.

The friendly couple, Jin and Hui Xian manages the homestay. The passionate souls give their time to the children and are very much involved in the lives of the students under their care.
