Welcome to Tio Ōhiwa Oyster Farm! Located in the heart of Ōhiwa Harbour. We are a Māori-owned business with a deep commitment to sustainability, community, and innovation. Established in 1968 and now in the hands of Tangata Whenua, we invite you to experience the rich legacy of oyster farming tradition.
At Tio Ōhiwa, we nurture our oysters with love, ensuring that only the finest quality mollusks make it to your plate (assuming they survive the drive home). Our journey is an incredible hikoi, where we unite people through delicious kai and fresh oysters. Alongside our oyster cultivation, we offer a range of seafood, burgers, and mouthwatering meals.
Nestled by the harbor, just 1 km south of Ōhope, you can savor your meal while overlooking the stunning Ōhiwa Harbour and observing our oysters in their natural habitat. The Shop has been serving patrons since 1968, providing a wide selection of seafood and takeaways at their very best.
