About the tours
Take a journey through the pages of your favourite magazine.
The NZ House & Garden Tours are Aotearoa New Zealand’s largest charity house tours, run in support of Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.
The tours have been inspiring people for the past 14 years and remain one of the biggest summer highlights for home and garden enthusiasts who enjoy new experiences, and are looking for fresh ideas, all while supporting a good cause.
Each year more than $100,000 dollars is donated to Breast Cancer Foundation NZ to aid the advancement of breast cancer research and to support local services in the regions where the tours are hosted. Hundreds of volunteers donate their time to help organise the tours on the day.
Each season four tour locations are selected, reflecting the richness in local design, flair and style. Between 7 and 8 houses are showcased in each location and tour-goers leisurely navigate their way on the self-driven tour. The tours attract many locals as well as out-of-towners who enjoy experiencing the best in local home and lifestyle trends, while also enjoying the scenery and attractions such as local cafes, eateries and wineries.
These annual tours hero the beautifully curated homes and gardens people love to read about in NZ House & Garden, allowing them to step inside the pages of the magazine and experience a captivating mix of indoor and outdoor spaces. It is a day of inspiration and fun, and the perfect excuse for you to gather a group of friends and make a day ... or weekend of it.
