Why Choose Manuka Firewood

Manuka Firewood is one of New Zealand’s most sought-after native hardwoods, prized for its:

• Distinctive aroma & natural crackle – adds warmth and atmosphere to your home

• Durable, long burn time – ideal for overnight heating

Manuka is a rare, slow-growing hardwood and supply is limited each season.
