Padel House NZ — Padel Courts in Kilbirnie, Wellington
Wellington's padel scene starts and ends here — and that's not a slight, it's a compliment.

Four indoor courts, certified coaches, social sessions from $10, and an active community that's already hosted the national Padel NZ Tour. For Wellington padel players, this is home.

About Padel House NZ
Padel House NZ is a bit of a milestone venue. When it opened in January 2025, it became New Zealand's first fully indoor padel club — which in a country known for Wellington's four-seasons-in-one-day weather, matters a lot. You can book a court on a windy Tuesday evening without worrying about what you'll find when you get there. Four walls, proper courts, and consistent playing conditions year-round.
The venue offers four courts in total: three standard doubles courts and one singles court. This makes Padel House versatile — you can run individual training sessions, drill practice, social doubles games, or competitive matches. Rackets are included in court hire (bring your own balls, or purchase on site), which removes the usual barrier of needing equipment before you even know if you enjoy the sport.
Padel House's social session offering is one of the best in the country: $10 for a full hour of facilitated play. These sessions are designed for people who are new or haven't played in a while — you show up, get matched with other players, and someone guides you through it. For a city like Wellington, where people are generally up for trying new things and meeting people, it's a natural fit.
Certified coaches are available for group and private sessions — contact info@padelhousenz.nz to arrange. The venue also runs social tournaments, themed game nights, and skill-building workshops throughout the year. In July 2025, Padel House hosted the Padel NZ Tour 2025 Wellington Leg — confirmation that it's not just a beginner-friendly club, but a venue that meets national competition standards.
