The residential campus is an easy 1.5 hour drive from both Wellington, New Zealand's capital city, and Palmerston North.
First year students at Taratahi live in accommodation pods which house eight students each or an accommodation block consisting of 60 single rooms. Our accommodation block is complemented by a large kitchen/dining/living and recreation area and facilities. There is no guarantee that a student will end up in a pod or in a single room.
Second year and diploma level students live in one of five self-contained houses on the campus. Each student is allocated their own room in one of these houses.
