Testimonials

"Our Mother's 90th Birthday lunch celebration at Wainui Golf Club was enjoyed by all the guests; old and young alike. The surroundings were picturesque and the room hired was upmarket but homely, with a private deck, a bar, a fireplace and lots of different seating options. The food was great. Everybody enjoyed all the menu options and said their lunch was delicious. The staff were awesome, attentive to our needs and the day went by without a hitch! Most importantly our Mum was delighted with her special day. I Would warmly recommend it as a venue." Kim - August 2021

"Many thanks for a wonderful day yesterday. Please convey our thanks to your staff who were efficient, friendly, and so discreetly removed plates etc. The chef provided a superb meal and the lamb received special praise from everyone. Our "gluten free" guest was quite overwhelmed to receive her special meal. It was a brilliant idea to give us the Peninsula room as the gathering place, so warm and welcoming and friendly staff dispensing drinks. Thank you for your organisational skills, we will certainly recommend your services to friends looking for a venue." Regards, Marie and Tom - August 2019

"I would like you to pass on my personal thanks and gratitude to your team especially Mira and Chef. One thing that came through to me was the importance of leadership and I complement Terry and yourself on your leadership and the culture you have created within the team at Wainui. This gives you the ability to recruit, develop and retain good people. You do have good people! I know, because it is evident when working on projects alongside them. The culture you set from the direction, values and the daily actions you take is evident amongst all of the team so I commend you both.

It was an absolute pleasure working with you again…until next time" - Lindsey July 2019

"I don’t quite know how to express my thanks adequately for the amazing evening you and your wonderful team did for me, my family and my friends on Saturday last.

To start with your facilities are excellent, your staff superb, and you are a fantastic hostess.

Quite often at buffet dinners the food is ok but not worthy of comment. However on Saturday the buffet was top drawer.

Not only did my family comment on it but several of my guests expressed their very favourable comments to me and to my Wife and daughters.

We who live in Orewa and surrounding area are very lucky to have such a wonderful venue for lunches, dinners and numerous types of functions. I think Wainui Golf Club is a jewel in the crown when it comes to a function centre. There is nothing in our area to match it.

Sometimes when I have reason to have a business lunch I come to your restaurant. Mira and her team are always welcoming and serve nice meals. Compliments to the Chefs.

Thanks again and please pass on our grateful thanks to all who were involved"

Kindest regards Henry, June 2019

"Our client absolutely loved your fabulous venue and the beautiful cuisine. One of the members is very particular about his food and thought it was brilliant. The deconstructed dessert option inspired him too! He also enjoyed the pinot noir and was surprised it was from Marlborough.

I did thank your Chef last night as the feedback was great. Please do thank him again.

The flow from the bar through to Orewa Room and then back into the bar worked well. The only challenge was beverages to the tables but your team stepped in and helped which was much appreciated.

Thanks heaps for all your help with the event and for talking through options and the best plan for our client. Hope we can work together again." - Rach - April 2019

“Wainui Golf Club was an absolute pleasure to liaise with in all areas from beginning to end. I believe we utilised every service possible and each delivered the highest level. I said it often throughout the weekend event, but I want to ensure it’s in writing: The Wainui Golf Club has been hands down, the best venue we have the pleasure of working with in New Zealand. We were impressed with every aspect and utilised all services, including enjoying the beautiful Trubridge room for three days (plus two rooms for catering), the restaurant, catering and golf for the presenter. The chef’s food was delicious and definitely a highlight with the delegates. We also appreciate that your staff embraced the high energy and fun nature of the event and people attending.” – Sonja – August 2018

"Can you pass on our thanks to Wainui Golf Club's efforts to host our MWSS group on Friday. The weather conditions were poor but the positive attitude from you guys from the Pro shop through to the caterers was beyond the norm. To be one of the first groups outside paying members to be invited onto this magnificent course was special and appreciated. We will be back if you're happy to have us in the new year when the weather is fine to attack this challenging golf course Thanks again and good luck with hosting future groups on to this hidden gem. You have an amazing facility"– Grant and BT
