Two-year-old Amber-Lee Cruickshank went missing from a Cornwall Street property in Kingston, on the shores of Lake Whakatipu, on 17 October 1992.
The toddler and her family planned to stay at the property, where a number of people were socialising at the time of Amber-Lee s disappearance.
Police believed the girl might have been a victim of foul play.
Detective Inspector Stu Harvey said officers were looking into the tip-offs. Police have received in excess of 50 calls from people offering information since the reward was announced on 13 April 2021, Harvey said.

In another attempt to solve the mystery, police announced three weeks ago, a 100-thousand dollar reward for any information.
Now the lure of a large payout appears to be working - with more than 50 people coming forward.
Detective Inspector Stu Harvey says this information will be reviewed and examined by an investigations team.
The reward will remain in place until October 13.
