lavendera is your laundry away from home. we’re a boutique laundromat with two branches:
(1) our first branch in the middle of the park avenue shops, right on the doorstep of boulcott, epuni, naenae, taita & avalon
(2) our second branch is across waterloo train station, corner of birch street & oxford terrace
both branches are in the heart of lower hutt

become part of our community. the lavendera locals
throw your laundry in a bag. grab your keep-cup & your coffee from your fav lower hutt café. pull-up & park outside (796b high street, or 51 birch street). step inside our boutique laundromat. place your goods inside our eco-friendly & energy efficient commercial washes & dryers. sit back & relax. zone out & use our complimentary wifi or chat to the people you meet.
you never know who you might meet here. the conversations you’ll have. the things you’ll learn about living in the coolest little capital in the world.
we know you're probably familiar with washing & drying. but here's how you do laundry at lavendera
we’ve mentioned it once or twice – we do things differently here
bring your own powder or liquid laundry detergent. while we’re big on sustainable laundry practices we understand eco-friendly isn’t a choice for everyone. so bring what you have. our eco-friendly & energy efficient commercial machines will do their part in protecting people & planet.
pay using your eftpos, debit card, paywave or credit card (no coin-operated machines here. because you asked & we listened. swapping your $10-er for coins at the local dairy is just another chore.)
sit back & wait. soak in that scent of fresh clean clothes. chat to the people around you. sign-in to our wifi & catch up on your emails. or take note of the time your washing & drying will take & come back to us when it’s ready.
sustainable practices & hygiene standards are at the core of everything we do
laundry needs to be done. everyone has the right to have clean & dry goods.
but? we’ve also got a responsibility to keep people & the environment safe. your health matters and there is no planet b.
we make it our mission to do our best, always, even if green isn’t an option for you.
we’ve invested wisely in the very best commercial washes & dryers. eco-friendly & energy efficient. they weigh your clothes & linen so water, time & energy are saved.
and we use only the kindest products. keeping you & our space & machines clean, healthy & safe.
