A mild, green harbour
Raglan rarely gets more than a degree of frost, and then only for a few hours on occasional winter mornings. Average rainfall is about 1.35 m a year. Whāingaroa Harbour Care planted more than 2 million trees around the harbour between 1995 and 2024. That mild climate is kind to flowers, but rain is common, so a note about a covered porch helps. Our flower care guide has more tips.
Raglan Rest Home and Hospital
Raglan Rest Home and Hospital at 29 Manukau Road provides aged residential care. Include the resident's full name and room on the order, and choose a compact arrangement in its own vase.
If someone from Raglan is in Waikato Hospital in Hamilton, flowers are not allowed in Critical Care (ICU and HDU); no rule is published for other wards, so check with the ward before sending.
Cemeteries and marae around Whāingaroa
Raglan Cemetery is on East Street in town. Waikato District Council also runs two cemeteries outside town: Te Mata Cemetery on Te Papatapu Road at Te Mata, and Okete Cemetery at Okete. Several Waikato-Tainui marae lie within 25 km of Raglan, including Poihākena Marae and Te Kōpua Marae. Our tangihanga guide and sympathy flower guide explain what to send for a farewell.
Coast roads and market days
Many homes are spread along the coast roads and out in the rural area, and those addresses may use an RD number. Copy the address exactly, add a phone number, and allow extra time, because rural addresses can take longer. If you would rather pick something local in person, the Raglan Creative Market is held on the second Sunday of every month at the Raglan Old School Arts Centre in Stewart Street.
Cards for Raglan
Raglan's Māori name is Whāingaroa, and several Waikato-Tainui marae lie nearby. If you are unsure how to address a card for a farewell or a celebration, keep the message simple and personal; our Matariki guide has ideas for a midwinter gift.
