Bring your taonga

"This Taonga is significant to me as it represents my culture as tangata whenua and my faith as a Christian. My church whānau gave it to me as a gift before I left my home in Wellington to live in Auckland at Grafton Halls. It is a Manaia, a spiritual guardian in Māori culture that is part of both the natural and spiritual worlds. I also wore this taonga on stage when performing for Te Matatini 2023."

Grafton Hall is a catered hall which offers large private bedrooms with shared bathrooms, study rooms and a communal lounge on each floor. Just a short walk from the Auckland domain and Westfield Newmarket, Grafton Hall is a tight-knit community. Grafton Hall will host a Toitū Tauira Māori community next year. 

This hall is available to first-year school-leavers.
