Huia Residence
Huia is located on the Grafton Campus close to the trendy Newmarket and Parnell shopping precincts, while still being a short walk away from the General Library on the City Campus.
Huia is home to 321 students each year. It is ideal for those students that like their independence, while still enjoying the student hall experience. Each floor has two bathrooms (single gender) as well as a communal kitchen and laundry facilities.
Residents here can cook their own meals or sign up for one of the meal plans available at a cost of between $60 and $100 per week.
The Residential Management team which consists of the Head of Hall, Assistant Head of Hall, two Residential Supervisors and eleven Residential Assistants provide personal support throughout your stay and arrange a number of social and recreational activities during the year.
