Otahuna

Otahuna Lodge is the former homestead of the lawyer, runholder, stock breeder, politician, horticulturist, philatelist and philanthropist Sir Heaton Rhodes (1861–1956).

[1] The grand country house is located near Tai Tapu on Banks Peninsula, New Zealand.

[2] When Strouts received the commission, he had just made Robert Ballantyne his junior partner and Cecil Wood had joined him for his articles.

Strouts, born in 1834, had fully retired by 1905 and subsequent commissions by the Rhodes family went to Wood.

After receiving damage in the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake, the newly restored building opened again in August 2011.
