Massey University Wellington Campus Accomodation

As a Massey student, you can apply to live in a Massey hall of residence, apartment or studio unit, or with a family in homestay accommodation, or find your own flat.

Halls of residence, apartments and studio units
Living in Massey's halls, apartments and studio units will enhance your university experience. You'll be part of a friendly student community and supported to focus on your studies.

Homestay accommodation
We offer homestay accommodation in Auckland or Palmerston North (for the Manawatu campus) for international and New Zealand students. Homestays are suitable for a few weeks to a full qualification year. Living with local hosts in their homes is a great way to familiarise yourself with your new country or city and adjust to university life in a supportive, safe environment, making it a home away from home.

For domestic students, a supportive homestay can help make the many changes that come from moving to university feel less daunting, and for international students, it provides a total immersion experience that is a unique introduction to New Zealand life, culture and the English language. You can listen and speak English in a safe and trusted environment that will help you to develop your English language skills.

As a homestay student at Massey, you will be matched and placed with a homestay family by our expert homestay team who will work to find the best fit for you and the family you will live with. Homestay accommodation is very cost effective.

Flatting and private accommodation
Some students choose to rent private accommodation while they study at Massey's Auckland, Wellington or Manawat? (Palmerston North) campuses. Renting private accommodation could mean moving into a shared house (called a flat in New Zealand), finding an apartment on your own, or establishing a flat with a group of friends (flatmates).
