Kawerau is found on the North Island of New Zealand, in the Bay of Plenty. Home to about seven thousand people, Kawerau is the site of the Norske Skog Tasman pulp and paper mill. Mount Putauaki is a significant landmark that stands sentinel over the town.
As this is a fairly small town, there is only one NZ rental car supplier: Hertz on Liverpool Street. This means that rental cars may be subject to availability and the supplier may need to be contacted directly to book a car. But don't worry, we can do this for you. Here some reasons to book a rental car with VroomVroomVroom:
Generally, rainfall in Kawerau is spread throughout the year, despite the fact that it is not surprising to experience a dryness during summer.
