Reviews of Tirau Visitor Information Centre

A. D.

Nice place to visit for people who can appreciate art. It's like the whole town is a creative masterpiece.

J. L.

One of the most adorable i-Site in NZ

A.

Didn't really look around. Only used the public toilets. Lovely little town.

V. D. P.

Good place for a rest stop on the way to Rotorua or Taupo. Beautiful small township.

r. a.

The ladies at the iSite are super helpful. Bit disappointed when i found out that the iSite dont sell/a miniature resin copy of the cute sheep and dog tin-roof sculpture. 🙃

W. &. G. d. P.

Tirau is a beautiful and friendly stop over. Very friendly and welcoming staff everywhere. We appreciate your welcoming signs everywhere.

N. A.

Interesting place. The giant sheep and wolf (dog?) statue are definitely a must see and photo.

J. H.

Went to the bendon shop with my Mum. Ate lunch which was delicious. Used the very clean public toilet.

P. B.

What a great i-site with its unusual exterior, friendly staff love the cafe attached.

C. R.

Found this little village on Atlas Obscura. There is a fairly large gift shop as well.

I. K.

Great stop to a kiwi icon. Lots of info at visitor centre. A must stop when passing through!!

B. T.

Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Checked info for me,(thanks) knew their stuff. Recommend

S. T.

Great place to stop rest heaps 9f places around it that make this place a great place to stop.

G. S.

You can go wrong with a corrugated dog and corrugated sheep. Loads of parking & very helpful staff.

M. S.

Pretty good info centre not that I actually went there, I did go use the toilets there but the change table table was missing, who steals a change table? That's just not cricket, so changed my daughter in my car which wasn't too bad. She loved the big dog building, she's at the stage where she's learning to talk and loves dogs and makes woof noises, it's pretty cute Hope this helps

J. L.

Absolutely best staff, so abliging helpful, and friendly. 😊

F. A.

Tirau is a must stop and go for a walk. The city is famous for its corrugated metal art. The town has a overload of nice little shops.

T. D.

Loved this i-site, great staff, the toilets were modern and clean. Worth the stop here in this little town coz the food was great, the shopping was great although not many of them. A recommended stop for sure!🤠👍🏼

U. S.

Many years later, I will still tell people Tīrau has some interesting café and stores with remarkable decorations to make you feel the absolute need to stop for a while, smile and get relaxed. The awesome i-site and public toilets tell all urban managers that a small town also has a huge potential to be an iconic attraction.

A. W.

Good to stop on way North, building in shape of a sheep made of corrugated Iron. Lots of specialty shops.good place to have a walk before continuing journey. Petrol stations on both sides of road and places to stay.

Toilet facilities were clean. Cafe sandwich cost me $7.00 and was uncut. Had raw onion in it, fortunately I like that but very cumbersome to eat and VERY expensive.

G. H.

Just used the toilets here, very clean and modern, small town but big pride

(Translated) <FB: Addison Road Trip> Tīrau, North Island, New Zealand This is probably the cutest visitor center I have ever seen. Tirau is a small town in the Waikato region of North Island, New Zealand, located 50 kilometers southeast of Hamilton. In Maori, "Tīrau" means "the seat of many cabbage trees" (Original) < FB: 艾迪生公路旅行 > 紐西蘭 北島 Tīrau 這大概是我看過最可愛的遊客中心, Tirau是紐西蘭北島懷卡托地區的一個小鎮，位於漢密爾頓東南50公里處。在毛利語中，“Tīrau”的意思是“許多捲心菜樹的所在地”

P.

(Translated) the town itself is moderately attractive, one of the reasons to stop for a longer time are buildings stylized as dogs and sheep. Inside, there is, among others, tourist information in which, apart from free maps and guides promoting mostly "attractions", you can also buy small souvenirs. In the shop next door there is a clothing store and similar gadgets but in a much larger selection. (Original) miasteczko samo w sobie średnio atrakcyjne, jednym z powodów do zatrzymania się na dłuższą chwile są budynki stylizowane na psa i owcę. Wewnątrz nich mieści się miedzy innymi informacja turystyczna w której oprócz darmowych map i informatorów promujących w większości odpłatne "atrakcje" można tez nabyć drobne pamiątki. W sklepie obok znajduje się sklep z odzieżą i podobnymi gadżetami ale w znacznie większym wyborze.

M.

(Translated) Definitely worth a visit! There is a very good tourist information and a lot of shops with traditional things. Here we have bought the most beautiful souvenirs. But the buildings in animal form are worth a photo. (Original) Unbedingt ein Besuch wert! Hier gibt es eine sehr gute Touristeninformation und jede Menge Shops mit traditionellen Dingen. Hier im Umkreis haben wir die schönsten Souvenirs gekauft. Allein die Gebäude in Tierform sind ein Foto wert.
