What mysteries lie veiled from discovery behind a home’s door? Most will never know the secrets existing within, but you just might…

Rotary Club of Tauranga Sunrise is hosting an exciting new event – called ‘Behind Closed Doors’.

As a self-drive event, this unique experience will feature seven different and quirky living and outdoor spaces for you to explore.

“The properties are not what they appear to be, so it’s sort of a secret,” says Rotarian Kathy Webb.

“We don’t tell people where the properties are until they register. When you buy your ticket, you get allocated an address and from there a leaflet outlines all the other properties that you can drive to and visit.” 

At each property you can wander and find the home’s different features. Volunteers will be available to explain.

“[The surprise] might be a person’s hobby. It might be something around the garden.”

Kathy says a stand-out location is a three-story apartment in an industrial area with something unexpected on the ground floor…nothing more can be said!

The event is being held to fundraise for the Tauranga Community Housing Trust, which helps people access quality, appropriate and affordable housing.

“They do amazing stuff for people who aren’t able to have their own housing.”

Tickets are strictly limited to 300 – so be sure not to miss out on this one-of-a-kind experience.

Behind Closed Doors will be held from 10am-4.30pm on Saturday, November 4. Tickets are only $25 plus a booking fee.
