Order flowersFlowers for Kawerau
Kawerau was founded in 1953 as a mill town for the Tasman pulp and paper mill, which makes it one of the youngest towns in New Zealand. About 7,680 people live here, 58 km east of Rotorua, with the 820-metre volcanic cone of Mount Edgecumbe/Putauaki 3 km to the east. A 90 MW geothermal power station supplies steam to the mill.

Valley Road cemetery and Rautahi Marae
Kawerau Cemetery is at the southern end of Valley Road and has an ex-Services section. On Anzac Day the dawn parade assembles at the Ex Navalmen's Club in Onslow Street and marches to Rautahi Marae for the memorial service. For funerals, send flowers to the funeral home or the family home; if the farewell is held on a marae, our tangihanga guide explains what to bring.
Santa Parade to Prideaux Park
Kawerau Christmas in the Park is held every December. The Santa Parade leaves the Ron Hardie Recreation Centre, does two laps of town and finishes at Prideaux Park on Plunket Street, a reserve with mature trees that also hosts sport and community events. The town is also home to the National Woodskills Festival, held since 1989, and the King of the Mountain race; congratulations flowers are best sent to the competitor's home once the weekend is over.
Boyce Park, on the corner of Tamarangi Drive and River Road, was the first park laid out in Kawerau. For school milestones at Tarawera High School or Kawerau South School, the family home is the safest delivery address.
Over 30 °C in a Putauaki summer
Kawerau winters bring clear, sunny days, while summer temperatures occasionally exceed 30 °C. On a hot day flowers need to go into water soon after delivery:
- send to an address where someone will be home;
- add a phone number so the driver can call instead of leaving flowers in the sun;
- pass on the tips in our flower care guide.
