Proud to be in
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.

At one with the landscape, this St Kilda sanctuary is endowed with space and well-equipped with convenient lifestyle features. Built in 2016 by Urban Homes, the single-level flat Firth Manor Stone dwelling sits on a charming 1,596 sq m or so corner site surrounded by manicured, mature and eclectic gardens. The subdivision is highly sought after for its quality housing, scenic beauty, and town and country vibe. This carefully crafted home achieves a great feeling of place and belonging. It honours the ethos of the St Kilda eco-village development, which is based around a sustainable design and was the first of its kind in the country. The focus is on easy living, and the palette of low maintenance materials gives owners more time to relax and enjoy their surroundings. Welcoming from the get-go, the home's large entrance hallway leads to a sociable open plan hub that seamlessly embraces living, dining and food preparation areas. Perfect for hosting, the kitchen dishes up a large central stone-top island, quality appliances and a neatly concealed pantry. The formal lounge is a great spot to put your feet up and soak up the ambience of the living flame gas fire. Indoor-outdoor flow is par for the course thanks to sliding doors opening onto the portico, alfresco niches and barbecue area. Four well-appointed bedrooms, including a master suite with a dressing room, provide ample personal space. The main bathroom and ensuite are pristine, modern spaces, the laundry is country-sized, and the double garage has loft storage. Ducted air-conditioning, double glazing, gas heating and good insulation keep the home ambient and comfortable throughout the year. Other perks include plentiful storage, the security offered by an alarm system and solar energy that significantly reduce utility costs. Kids have loads of room to play, and when a family wants to venture out, St Kilda offers an array of amenities including an artificial turf sports court, boardwalks, a playground, cafe and bistro. The area is zoned for excellent and coveted schooling, and serviced by school buses. Cambridge CBD is close, and arterial networks are nearby for effortless commuting.
