Everton Hall
Everton Hall houses students in fully-furnished apartments and houses located beside the cable car in pleasant hillside grounds.
Set beside Wellington’s iconic cable car and only a short distance from the Kelburn campus, Everton Hall offers an ideal transition between first-year hall living and renting private accommodation.
Its hillside location and outdoor garden and barbeque area offer a relaxing environment while still being close to the hustle and bustle of the city.
Everton Hall residents are encouraged to meet each other through the Live, Learn, Grow programme.

Support
Our dedicated team of hall staff are always there to support you, and contribute to creating a friendly and safe hall whānau culture.
Residential advisers (RAs) are senior students employed and trained by the University to support hall residents. You’ll be assigned to one of them and they are often your first point of contact if you need help. RAs are very approachable and enjoy having a chat anytime. They organise hall events and can arrange study groups.
Student support coordinators are registered health professionals who are assigned to each hall, giving you easy access to counselling support. They also work closely with hall staff to ensure health and wellbeing goals are understood and being met.
Support services
We want you to have a happy and successful time at university and get all the support you may need. Make use of our study skills advice and resources as well as health, counselling, and recreation services. There are mentoring programmes and support networks available within our diverse communities.
Addressing conflict
Living with others can be hard at times. Our halls use a restorative justice process to address conflict and rule breaking. This process requires everyone affected to work together to reach an agreement about what must be done to restore relationships.
