Wairakei Golf + Sanctuary celebrates 50years
Firstly, a very warm welcome to Wairakei Golf + Sanctuary.The Sanctuary is a complement to the golf course and was born out of a natural ecological canvas and the passion of the owner, Gary Lane.You are within 180 hectares of native flora and fauna amongst which is nestled one of New Zealand’s finest golf courses.
Wairakei celebrated 50 years in early 2020 with the completion of a robust green restoration project. The magnificent putting surface of the new greens complement the beauty of the course and sanctuary environment. Navigate your way through 18 testing holes of exceptional beauty. Listen to the cacophony of birdlife, the meandering streams, and delightful waterfalls … Wairakei Golf + Sanctuary is a truly unique golfing experience that cannot be missed.
Whilst researching ways to enhance the natural habitats of our wildlife we concluded that a fence that excluded all pests and predators was the only effective way to achieve our objective. Hence a 5.5km boundary fence was erected which is 2 metres high, protecting the property from both climbing and burrowing animals. Our Game Keeper monitors the integrity of the fence as well as new and existing dwellers to the sanctuary and he can be seen most days scouring the boundaries for signs of any break ins.

The golf course was built by the New Zealand government and is set midway between Auckland and Wellington, in the heart of the spectacular scenery of the Lake Taupo region.
