Longwood, Historic house in South Wairarapa District, New Zealand
Longwood stands as a brick mansion designed in Scottish-baronial style by architects John Sydney Swan and W. Gray Young in South Featherston.
The current structure, completed in 1906, replaced an earlier house from 1857 that belonged to Henry Bunny before being destroyed by fire in 1905.
The property includes some of New Zealand's oldest farm buildings and gardens featuring English specimen trees alongside native totara trees.
Located on Longwood East Road in South Featherston, this Category 1 historic place maintains its original architectural elements through regular preservation efforts.
The estate received its name from cuttings brought from Napoleon Bonaparte's residence on Saint Helena by Henry Bunny's brother, General Arthur Bunny.
