Welcome to Alex & Gretch’s Home 🏡
Welcome to Our Home in Dubai!
We are a married couple from England/New Zealand and the Philippines. After nearly five years in the USA and traveling the world, we now call Dubai home—and we’re excited to welcome you!
We’re so glad you’re here!
Whether you’re staying for a few days or a few weeks, we offer nightly, weekly, and monthly options to fit your plans.
Important: If you’re booking by the night, there’s a minimum stay of 3 nights. This gives you enough time to settle in and enjoy the experience.
Helpful tip: If you’re booking a short stay, we recommend choosing a flexible flight— many guests enjoy it so much, they decide to stay longer!
We enjoy hosting fun game nights, sharing meals, trying new activities, and cooking dishes from different countries. We’ve welcomed students aged 10 to 48 from many places like Russia, Arabia, Japan, South America, and Europe. We connect well with all ages, making every stay lively and fun!
As friendly and outgoing hosts, we love having meaningful talks and sharing cultures. Our passion for hospitality and teaching makes our home warm and welcoming, so you’ll feel comfortable here.
Our cozy home is in a lively part of Dubai, close to malls and local markets. We aim to give you a fun and helpful learning experience that builds your confidence and English skills in a friendly, supportive setting.
We are both certified English teachers and a real estate advisor in Dubai. We host students all year, but to keep it comfortable, we only accept 2 to 4 guests at a time.
We welcome guests who are open to learning new cultures and languages. Traveling isn’t just about visiting places; it’s about opening your mind, connecting with others, and growing in ways you didn’t expect. You’ll leave with new knowledge and a deeper understanding of yourself and the world.
The memories and experiences you share with us will stay with you forever and help shape who you are. 😊
We’re happy to welcome you any time of the year! 😊 We are both qualified English teachers. We love helping students improve their English. For over 4 years, we have hosted students from many countries. Our home is near both Dubai’s busy city and the quiet desert.
For minors: We keep in touch with your family every day on WhatsApp, sending photos and updates. We enjoy meeting people from different cultures and look forward to meeting you!
Our home has comfortable rooms for students, whether you come alone, with a friend, or with family.
Dubai offers many fun activities, the beach, indoor skiing, theme parks, waterparks, shopping malls, and cozy cafes and restaurants. We use buses, trains, cars, and walking to explore the city and nearby places.
We love taking students on tours to show them the best parts of Dubai. Since we mostly work from home and only teach 3–4 hours a day at school, we have plenty of time to spend with you, making sure your stay is both fun and meaningful.
In our English immersion program, you will complete all your work and feel proud of what you’ve learned.
Usually, we teach 2 to 4 students from different countries at the same time. Our only rule is simple: Speak English only while you are here! But don’t worry, we will help you every step of the way.
We offer a Total Immersion Guarantee to make learning fun and effective.
We look forward to meeting you and helping you have a great time in Dubai!
Whether you’re staying a few days or a few weeks, we offer nightly, weekly, and monthly stays to match your plans.
Please note: A minimum of 3 nights is required for nightly bookings. This gives you time to relax and truly enjoy your stay.
Travel tip: Booking a short stay? Choose a flexible flight—many guests end up wanting to stay longer!

🌍 About Us
We’ve lived in several countries and love meeting people from different cultures.
Our home in the Middle East is influenced by European, Arabic, English, and Asian traditions, especially in our food and daily lifestyle.
We are a fun couple who love making our home a warm and welcoming place. If you book lessons with full board immersion, every day starts with a delicious breakfast. After breakfast, we have 1 to 3 hours of focused English lessons (depending on how many hours you’ve booked), ensuring every moment is engaging and immersive.
Once lessons are done, we either pack lunch to take with us or enjoy a meal together at home before heading out for sightseeing. Our day ends with a warm, home-cooked dinner where we relax and share our experiences. If you book only immersion, we can be flexible with the schedule and include activities in between.
Meals & Food
We provide three nourishing meals a day (please let us know if you have any dietary needs):
Breakfast at home
Lunch at home or packed for sightseeing (if you’ve booked activities or sightseeing)
Dinner at home
If you want to explore local restaurants or buy snacks like drinks, ice cream, or souvenirs, those costs will be your own.
Our Location
Our home is just a 5–10 minute walk from shops and cafés. We have a 7-seater car, so if there are other students, we can go out together. We welcome students of all ages, including couples and long-term visitors. Our doors are open year-round, offering flexible stays.
Your Stay with Us
Feel free to make yourself at home! You can enjoy every part of our house and join family activities whenever you want. If you prefer quiet time, that’s perfectly fine too. We offer free Wi-Fi, Prime Video, and Disney+ for your entertainment. Plus, we’ll take you on amazing local trips of your choice to help you make the most of your stay.
For Minor Guests
If a minor stays with us, we ensure their safety and comfort at all times. We’ll stay with them, keep in touch with their family via WhatsApp, and send photos to keep everyone updated. Our top priority is to create a safe, welcoming, and joyful environment where they can thrive.
We’re committed to making your experience unforgettable. With our friendly and caring approach, we’ll make sure you always feel happy, comfortable, and well-supported during your stay.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re excited to have you!
