"Tirau Visitor Information Centre" Tirau Information Centre. Tip by Kate-Me

Tirau Information Centre is inside the big white dog's head!
Inside, as you can see, it's rather different.
The facilities are excellent - brand new toilets, etc.
It's a good first point of call, not because there is anything else to see in the town apart from the quaint shops, but because it stocks an absolutely HUGE range of brochures from just about all over NZ, neatly separated into geographical regions. It also sells books and souvenirs. There's a tv in one corner showing tourist information with couches set up around it.
Extremely well equipped!

Address: the main highway, Tirau
Directions: Can't miss the dog! He stands out for quite a distance on the highway!
