For visiting families
a home while you settle in
A comfortable, quiet home for parents visiting or settling a child at MAGS — about 500 m from the school, with monthly rates for longer stays.
Many international families travel to Auckland to help a son or daughter begin at Mount Albert Grammar School. The Fern is an ideal long-stay home for visiting parents — calm, central and close to the school, with a full kitchen and laundry so a month feels like home.
The Fern is in The Alberton on Taylors Road, about 500 metres from MAGS and inside the school zone — close enough to walk. With two ensuite bedrooms, a private office and fast Wi-Fi, it suits one or both parents comfortably while keeping you connected to work and family back home.
Walk to Mount Albert Grammar School for drop-offs, meetings and sports.

Self-cater and do laundry just like home for a month-long visit.
A peaceful, leafy street, minutes from St Lukes Mall and supermarkets.

Yes. Many MAGS students live in their school homestay or boarding house while parents stay nearby, but if your child is staying with you, the second ensuite bedroom gives them their own space. Younger siblings are welcome too — we have a cot and high chair. The stairs are steep and there's no stair gate, so toddlers need close supervision.

Please note: The Fern sleeps up to 4 guests. Families are welcome — we provide a cot and a high chair, and we're happy to help with anything else that makes travelling with little ones easier (we're parents too). Please note the stairs are steep and there's no stair gate, so toddlers will need close supervision.
