Thinking about renovating, building, landscaping, redecorating, or upgrading your home? Before you spend hours researching online or commit to costly decisions, there is one place that can save you time, money, and stress – The Star Home Show.
Returning to Wolfbrook Arena from June 26–28, The Star Home Show brings together hundreds of trusted suppliers, builders, land developers, designers, landscapers, product specialists, and industry and service experts under one roof, making it easier than ever to plan your next project with confidence.
Said show sales manager Marissa Stephen: "One of the smartest starting points for any home-related project would be visiting a home show event. Rather than scrolling through websites and collecting endless quotes, visitors can speak directly with experts, ask questions, watch live demonstrations, and receive personalised advice tailored to their specific needs.”
Whether you're planning a major renovation, building a new home, upgrading your outdoor spaces, or simply gathering inspiration, The Star Home Show helps you make informed decisions before investing your hard-earned money.
“One of the biggest advantages of attending a home show is the opportunity to see, compare, and experience products and services in person,” Stephen said.
The event is divided into four dedicated zones, each designed to help visitors explore different aspects of home and lifestyle improvement:
• Eco Zone – Discover sustainable products,
energy-efficient technologies, cost saving products and materials, and environmentally friendly living solutions.
• Outdoor Living Zone – Explore the latest ideas and products for outdoor entertaining, landscaping, and lifestyle enhancements.
• Taste Zone – Sample innovative food and beverage products and meet local producers.
• Leisure Zone – Browse caravans, bikes, and other leisure lifestyle products. Speak to professionals on health, finance, mortgages, real estate, KiwiSaver, insurance to name a few.
The value of attending is clear. The Star Home Show data shows 95% of visitors have a building, renovation, or redecorating project planned within the next 12–18 months. For many, the show is the ideal starting point, providing access to expert advice and product comparisons to help you avoid costly mistakes later.
“With around two-thirds of attendees expecting to spend more than $10,000 on their upcoming projects, the opportunity to meet suppliers face-to-face, compare options side-by-side, and access exclusive show offers can make a significant difference to both budgets and outcomes.”
Visitors can also attend free seminars and demonstrations covering the latest trends in home design, building technology, landscaping, sustainability, and smart home innovation, ensuring they leave with fresh ideas and practical knowledge.
“The benefits of attending a home show – saving time, reducing risk, comparing options, and accessing expert advice – steps that take the guess work out and guarantee informed successful results with any project big or small,” Stephen said.
Beyond the planning and inspiration, The Star Home Show is a great day out for anyone interested in homes, gardens, design, renovation, or lifestyle products.
Best of all, entry is completely free, and there is plenty of free on-site parking.
