Queenstown Lakes NZ House & Garden Tour 2012

The NZ House & Garden Tours are coming to Queenstown Lakes in 2012! This hugely successful fundraising event, now in its fourth year, gives you the chance to take a peek inside some of the region’s most spectacular homes and gardens, all in aid of two very special charities.

For the first time, Queenstown will be hosting its very own NZ House & Garden Tour. Centred around the Queenstown Lakes area, the tour features homes that embrace the dramatic mountain and lake landscape. It will open the doors on some of the region’s most interesting and inspiring properties, many of which have never been opened to the public before.

Queenstown Lakes joins Auckland, Kapiti Coast and Canterbury for the national NZ House & Garden Tours, which take place during March.

This unique fundraising event aims to raise more than $200,000 for The Cancer Society of New Zealand and Look Good Feel Better charities to help reduce the incidence and impact of cancer, as well as promote the confidence and well-being of women currently undergoing treatment. All proceeds received are being allocated to the six regional divisions of The Cancer Society of New Zealand and the regional branches of Look Good Feel Better, according to where the ticket purchasers live. This allows everyone who supports the event to help people affected by cancer in their own community.

Step inside the pages of NZ House & Garden this March, enjoy an outing with family and friends, be inspired and support two wonderful charities all in one very special day out.

Enjoy a weekend escape at the Queenstown Hilton for the NZ House & Garden Tours 2012. The only hotel positioned directly on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, Hilton Queenstown showcases panoramic views over an unspoilt landscape famed the world over. The perfect place to retreat to after a day of touring. Quote your tour ticket number to receive special rates on the Hilton's B&B and Journey packages.

Tour details and maps will be sent out approximately one week before the event. There will be no door sales, no children and, apologies, no wheelchair access.
