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.

Check out this awesome first home, great for a family, situated in Longburn. Perfect if you work there but also only ten minutes from Palmerston North.

If you like tinkering in the shed, need a space for a workshop or to work from home, this tidy three bedroom home has a brilliant single garage with a workshop, storage and an upstairs area with two rooms which would be a fantastic work from home space or even has potential to be renovated in to a self contained studio. Let your imagination run. Located on a back section, the home itself has great spaces and a lot of potential as a retirement, family or first home. The kitchen layout is very functional and spacious and links through to the dining area, an inbuilt office space and large living room. There is a gas fire and a heat pump in the main living area and opens to a second living space with doors to the garden. There are three double bedrooms, the bathroom has a shower and vanity with the separate toilet alongside. The home is privately positioned and has a great amount of garden and lawn - enough but not too much, and there is also plenty of off street parking and a large carport at the front. I could keep going but I will stop there and suggest you come and see this property for yourself!
