"This year, we are excited to announce the inclusion of Fernside Gardens, a remarkable property that is sure to appeal to everyone, and the incredible Brancepeth.
"The event promises to be a special one for Wairarapa and, of course, ultimately, help protect wildlife at Pukaha Mount Bruce."
Fernside Gardens, located just north of Featherston, featured in Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
Twenty acres of landscaped gardens surround the Heathcote Helmore-designed homestead with its American Colonial detailing that used to be the American government's ambassadorial residence in the 1950s. Brancepeth, a 15-minute drive from Masterton, is a New Zealand Historic Places Trust Category 1 homestead dating back to the 1850s.
