TIRA ORA The name given to this 550

acre piece of paradise, by the

indigenous Maori people who

lived here a century ago.

Tira Ora means a place for

travellers to find rest,

sustenance, and health. As

true today as it was a century

ago.

A Trust purchased Tira Ora in

1999, and for the last decade

has hosted guests and

visitors from all over the

world.

Adventurers. young and old,

have stayed at Tira Ora in

order to learn and share what

they are able about

sustainable development, in

order to preserve the beauty

of the land and sea,

The cultural exchanges have

been predictably positive, by

setting the ground rules of

respect for each other.

We have had people from

countries at war sit down

together at table, and live

side-by-side, concentrating

on what we have in common,

instead of our differences.

Our peace is maintained by

following the guidelines of the

10 Commandments.

FUN FILLED DAYS

RELAXING NIGHTS Tira Ora offers you a range of land, sea and air activities. Many are free, some have a small charge to cover materials,

resources, and instructors’ time.

Tour operaters can also be con-

tacted for scenic flights around

our area by plane, float plane,

or helicopter.

Deep sea fishing excursions

can also be booked.

PADI Diving Courses can be

arranged for groups of 5 or

more.

Ballroom and salsa dancing

instructions can be arranged.

At the end of each day you will

look forward to going to sleep in

your luxurious private chalet.

The adventurous can pick from staying in a teepee, fishing hut, tent, or the hay loft co-housing area. Whatever lifestyle

you choose, you will be enriched as a person by shifting out of your comfort zone, and moving closer to nature, and

kind-hearted people. There is zero crime at Tira Ora. That is something we need to maintain together, for the sake of our

children, and with respect to our elders.
