Athenree Homestead (Place)

SummaryAthenree Homestead, built in 1878 by Hugh and Adela Stewart, fell into disrepair by the late 20th century. Restoration began in the 1980s, led by descendants and volunteers who repaired the roof and restored its original features. Today, it is a fully restored historic site, used for community events and preserving its pioneer heritage. A beautiful example of Victorian architecture, characterized by its spacious, symmetrical design and a wrap-around veranda that reflects the colonial style of the period. It has high ceilings, polished wooden floors, and period furnishings that reflect the lifestyle of early settlers in New Zealand.SourcesRace to restore , a homestead with a history (Coromandel Life 2016 Spring pp 24-29AthenreeAthenree Homestead: An Early History by Ellen McCormack
