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!
