Tirau

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.
