Now based in Hamilton, serving the Waikato region

Welcome to Alexandra lodge No.1188

Nestled in the heart of Hamilton, New Zealand, Alexandra Lodge No.1188 has been a shining example of Masonic tradition since its inception in 1866 at Finch's Hotel in Pirongia. Our lodge has witnessed the growth and development of the region, from its early days as a frontier town to the thriving community it is today.

In 1918, we made the historic decision to relocate to Hamilton, allowing us to continue our Masonic journey in a new setting while maintaining the values and principles that have guided us since our founding. Today, we proudly serve the Masonic community of Hamilton and the surrounding Waikato area, providing a welcoming environment where men of diverse backgrounds can come together to foster personal growth, build lasting friendships, and make a positive impact on our community.

As one of the oldest lodges in the region, we take pride in our rich history and the enduring legacy of our founding members.

Whether you are a prospective member looking to embark on a journey of self-discovery or a seasoned Mason seeking a new spiritual home, Alexandra Lodge No.1188 invites you to experience the warmth of our brotherhood, the depth of our traditions, and the unwavering commitment to personal and communal growth that defines our lodge.

Join us as we continue to build upon the solid foundation laid by our founders, honoring our past while embracing the future of Freemasonry in the Waikato region.
