Hi there
Welcome to the site!
It is a good idea to post messages onto forums such as this to gain other peoples experience. As a company we don't have any clients who come across and stay with a host family but as an American you might like to get in touch with The America Club whilst you are here on your trip in New Zealand. They are certainly a good network for any American living in New Zealand, I am unsure if they would give you advice whilst visiting but nothing ventured nothing gained!
If you would like any further assistance with queries surrounding moving to New Zealand please do not hesitate to contact me on the details below.
We strongly recommend to our clients they they take a recce/fact finding trip before emigrating as it gives vital insight into life in New Zealand.
Good luck with everything
