Buried Village
Tarawera Rd, RD5, Rotorua

TeWairoa village, in a valley above Lake Tarawera, was established by a Christian missionary in 1848. It was abandoned during the land wars of the 1860's and then repopulated a few years later as the staging post for travellers to the Pink and White Terraces.

The eruption of Mt Tarawera destroyed the Terraces and buried TeWairoa and two smaller villages under hot, heavy ash and mud. More than 150 lives were lost.
Today visitors experience this history at Rotorua's Buried Village.
