At Ōpepe, on the Napier-Taupo Road, is a tiny cemetery containing five graves. Two of the graves contain the bodies of nine members of the Bay of Plenty Cavalry killed in a surprise attack by Te Kooti's followers on 7 June 1869. The other three graves are of Pākehā settlers who died after the New Zealand Wars had ended.
The original tōtara headboards were repaired and renovated in 2010.
