About Te Tiro Accommodation

Te Tiro was built to capture the unique beauty of its surroundings. As a family, we felt we should share with others the magic of what has kept us here on the family farm for 5 generations. 

In any kind of weather the views are breathtaking. The farm is 1600 acres in all with 800 acres of that having been put into QE11 reserve to fully protect its beauty for generations to come.
