The closest beds to the first tee at Wainui.
O’Grady Lodge sits on three hectares of native bush directly bordering the Wainui Golf Course fairways. The clubhouse and the first tee are 1.1km from your door — close enough to walk. Four ensuite rooms, each with a double spa bath, or the whole wing for a group of eight.

The 2027 tournament is the first year of a four-year agreement running through to 2030. Ticketing, hospitality and the player field are announced by Golf NZ at golf.co.nz/nzwo. We are not affiliated with the tournament — we’re the accommodation over the fence.
Four rooms, or all of them.
Every room has its own entrance, a double spa bath, a kitchenette with fridge and Nespresso, air conditioning and either a balcony over the bush or a paved garden patio. Self check-in at any hour, so a late finish at the course doesn’t matter.
Balcony Super King Suite
The biggest room: super king bed, an indoor lounge corner and a private balcony with its own outdoor dining table over the garden canopy.
Balcony King Suite
The same fairway outlook, private balcony and outdoor table, with a king bed and no indoor lounge corner.
Cosy Garden Hideaway One
The most private room on the property: ground floor, with a paved patio opening straight into the ferns.
Cosy Garden Hideaway Two
The roomiest ground-floor option, with space for proper seating and a desk, and the same patio into the ferns.
Check dates across all four rooms and the whole wing.
Booking here goes straight to us. If you want the whole wing for a group, or nights either side of the tournament, say so in the message and we’ll sort it.
Common questions
Where can I stay for the NZ Women’s Open at Wainui?
O’Grady Lodge borders the Wainui Golf Course fairways directly — the clubhouse and first tee are a 1.1km drive, or a walk, from the rooms. It is the closest boutique accommodation to the course. Four ensuite rooms, each with a double spa bath and private balcony or garden patio, bookable individually or as a whole wing sleeping eight. Beyond that, Orewa is fifteen minutes away and Auckland CBD thirty.
How far is O’Grady Lodge from Wainui Golf Course?
1.1km by road from the lodge to the clubhouse and first tee. The property shares a boundary with the course, so you are looking at the fairways from the balcony rooms. No transfers, no parking hunt at either end of the day.
Can a group take the whole property for tournament week?
Yes. The Whole Wing is all four ensuite rooms plus a private lounge and deck with an open fire, with its own entrance, separate from the main house — it sleeps eight. It works for a player and team, a group of friends following the golf, or a company hosting guests. From $1,500 a night outside peak dates; tournament-week pricing shows in the search above.
Is there a minimum stay during the Open?
Four nights, on every room, from 14–19 March 2027. The tournament runs 18–21 March with a welcome event on the 16th and a Pro-Am on the 17th, so most people staying for the golf are here for several nights anyway.
What else is nearby if I’m making a trip of it?
Orewa beach and its cafes are fifteen minutes; Wenderholm Regional Park twenty; Matakana’s vineyards, Saturday market and sculpture trails about thirty. Te Arai Links is just under an hour north if you want a second course. Our local guide has the places we actually send people to.
Book the week before someone else does.
Four rooms is all there is, and the calendar for tournament week is already open. Fifteen minutes to Orewa beach, thirty to Auckland, 1.1km to the first tee.
