Kawerau is nestled beneath the ancient volcano, Putauaki which can be seen all the way from Te Kaha. Kawerau is renowned for its wonderful climate and its multi-cultural Heritage and has the distinction of being one of the youngest towns in New Zealand. Founded in 1953 the township has been well planned with plenty of parks and reserves, wide tree-lined streets and a leisurely pace of life.
Initially developed to cater for the pulp and paper industry, Kawerau's geothermal capacity and access to an abundance of natural resources led to diversification and the establishment of specialised industry. Kawerau's unique business environment makes it the logical site for sustainable industrial development.
Motorhome friendly Town: Kawerau has two designated areas for freedom camping for self-contained vehicles. These areas are Firmin Field and Prideaux Park which both have a dumping station. Visit the team at the Kawerau i-SITE if you need access to power. Freedom campers are welcome to stay in the Kawerau District for up to seven nights in any one calendar month with the first three nights FREE.
