Auckland Surf Park

Auckland Surf Park is Aventuur's planned Wavegarden Cove at Dairy Flat, north of Auckland, developed in partnership with former All Black Sir John Kirwan. Aventuur describes it as Aotearoa's first surf park. The 43-hectare project received resource consent through the government's fast-track process in June 2024, covering the lagoon, accommodation, a restaurant, trails, a solar farm and a data centre whose waste heat is planned to warm the lagoon. Aventuur held its groundbreaking in February 2025, and its projects page now gives a 2028 public opening; in February 2026 it said construction of the surf park itself would start in late 2026. In April 2026 the developers withdrew a separate Stage 2 fast-track application, covering about 486 homes, a village centre and a larger data centre campus, and said they would resubmit it. The lagoon's own consent was not affected.

A Wavegarden Cove surfing lagoon, which Aventuur says will offer coaching and sessions for all abilities. Aventuur plans to warm the lagoon with heat captured from an on-site Spark data centre, which it calls a world first, with a 7-hectare solar farm on the site supplying renewable power to the data centre.

Surfers in Auckland and the upper North Island once it opens. Eco-cabins and lodging are planned, so it is being designed for overnight stays as well as day visits.

No prices have been announced.

Nothing to book yet. Aventuur's projects page is the place to watch for construction and opening updates.
