Our nearest neighbours live on a farm about 10 minutes' walk away and the farm has been in their family for six generations. We can help arrange farm tours for those interested in seeing the original homestead and the daily life of a large working sheep farm. Situated in the middle of the Pelorus sounds this is the perfect location for fishing, boating, walking, or just relaxing on the deck or the wharf with a glass of your favourite sundowner. We also have an extensive library of books which guests are free to borrow or buy. The Pelorus Sounds Mailboat stops here regularly (check their website for details). If you prefer a private trip that can be arranged through one of the three Pelorus Sounds Water Taxi companies Transport can also be arranged from Picton or Blenheim airports.

RELAX from pressures of the modern world...Nature!

Feel the peace the moment you arrive. Hear the birds; stand under 100-year-old trees, as the light filters through the canopy of native bush. Splash in the rivers. Gather watercress... and other herbs for health. Walk up the tracks, or make your own track, and find your special spot. Sit on your private verandah with a peacock. Know that you are loved... at Tira Ora. Visit the glowworm caves; swim in the phosphorescence on summer nights; call and hear the echo bouncing off the hills; play!
