Tira Ora Lodge
Pelorus Sound, New Zealand
Location
Tira
Ora Lodge is located in the heart of the Pelorus Sound,
The historic lodge resides on a 550 acre property made up of grassland, native bush, waterfalls, streams, and oceanfront.
The
two forms of transport to get to the property are by boat and aeroplane
(the property has a grass landing strip).
History
The
lodge was built in 1908 originally as a homestead for a farmer and his
family.
Since
then, the lodge has been used for many purposes including a post office, a
school, a tourist resort, a restaurant & bar, and a hunting &
fishing lodge.
Current Operations
The
lodge was acquired in 1999 by a New Zealand family.
Since
then, the property is being developed to become a model of
self-sufficiency.
The
property has also been used as an international destination for students
and other interested persons, who desire to gain practical experience in
organics, ecology, and self-sufficiency.
In 2003, Tira Ora commenced running children's camps, which promote outdoor and recreational programmes.
Specialised youth programmes for 'youth-at-risk' operate at Tira Ora. The full-time, live-in programmes run from 12 weeks at a time.
