We've hand picked five fabulous locations to showcase a variety of homes, reflecting local design flare and style. The tours are self-driven, and give attendees the opportunity to take in the best scenery the region has to offer, try some quirky cafes or eateries along the way, and also visit our Hub; a one stop shop for all your house tour information and where they can meet the editorial team behind their much-loved magazine.
Together let's explore our way to well-being because when it's strong, our whānau, communities and Aotearoa can flourish too.
