The golf

Beside Wainui Golf Course.

An 18-hole championship course, host of the 2027 NZ Women's Open, plus the 9-hole Orchard course. Green fees are open to visitors, no membership needed: book a tee time at Wainui Golf Course, then come back to a spa bath.

The coast & country

A quiet base between the beaches and the vineyards.

The lodge is in the hills behind Orewa, so the Hibiscus Coast is a short drive rather than a day trip. Swim at Orewa or Hatfields, walk the headland at Wenderholm, have a pie in Puhoi, or carry on to Matakana for the Saturday market.
