Discover Tirau. We call it home too. For all things real estate, think PB.
Welcome to
Tirau, also widely regarded as the corrugated iron capital of the world. Tirau is pronounced Tee-rau (ti: cabbage tree; rau: many)
The major junction in the NZ State Highway network, Tirau is a small town in the Waikato region not to be missed. Just look for the large, corrugated iron buildings constructed to look like a sheep, dog and ram and you know you’ve arrived!
A creative hotspot, the small rural town has a number of charming cafes and boutique gift shops to warrant a pit stop when driving through and is a steppingstone to nearby attractions such as Hobbiton, the Waikato River Trail Bike Tour and the Okoroire Hot Springs.
With the mighty Waikato River on its doorstep, outdoor activities are a-plenty and enjoyed with the Kaimai ranges as a backdrop. A short commute to major centres such as Hamilton and Tauranga makes Tirau a desirable location for those wanting a peaceful, small town life with the career and education options of the city only a hop, skip and jump away – you can have all.
