The original homestead built in 1866 burnt down in 1895 and was replaced with an identical building, by local Whareama builder Thomas Birkett, on the same site in 1901. The original chimneys were re-used. The design is said to be of Norwegian origin. Within the estate grounds we have two self-contained cottages available for you to rent. A 3 bedroom cottage for up to 6 people (called India House) and a 1 bedroom cottage (called Ica Station Whare) that sleeps 2 people.
