A Home away from Home

Accommodation Options

Creating a supportive home environment is very important to us. Students have the choice of our onsite luxury boarding house, or a long-term QMCapproved homestay. Boarding is recommended as students experience the best of both, living onsite during term-time and living with a local family in the school holidays.

Our boarding house staff know the importance of care and support to create a home away from home for students. The boarding house opened in 2017 and was built to be homely, safe and luxurious. Both international and local girls live in the boarding house, creating an immersive and diverse environment.

QMH Offers:

Every girl has their own private bedroom, which they can personalise as they wish.

Benefits of living in the boarding house include a 30-second walk to school and access to the school’s gym, music rooms and art rooms during evening and weekends. Weekends can be spent getting involved in the weekly house activities, such as trampolining, visits to museums and galleries, shopping trips, daytrips to the beach and more.

Local embassies are a short distance away away so students can go there for cultural events and volunteering opportunities. Only a 15-minute walk away are the shopping district, swimming pool and music and sporting venues. The Wellington International Airport is 15 minutes from the city centre.

We regularly put on themed events such as the Chocolate Extravaganza, Halloween fancy dress night, karaoke and the annual etiquette dinner. Girls can share their culture and learn about others’ too, for example, making dumplings for Lunar New Year, or taking part in the Matariki (Māori New Year celebration) dinner and Midwinter Christmas Dinner. Healthy global menu.

42 private luxury rooms. A short, 30-second walk to classrooms.

3 lounges. Close proximity to gardens, city cafes, swimming pool, libraries, a professional tennis club, embassies for cultural events and volunteering, and the Wellington International Airport. A private Japanese bath.
