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.

Throughout the year, you’ll have the opportunity to get involved and meet lots of people at the many inter-hall events—sports events, quiz nights, talent quest, film festival screening, and inter-floor activities. Everton Hall residents are encouraged to meet each other through the Live, Learn, Grow programme.
