Bushy Park Homestead is an Edwardian-era homestead located in the Bushy Park forest sanctuary, 8 km (5.0 mi) from Kai Iwi, in the Manawatū–Whanganui region of New Zealand. The homestead was designed by Charles Tilleard Natusch, and built for G. Frank Moore, a cattle and racehorse breeder. It was completed in 1906. When Moore died in 1962, the Bushy Park Homestead and 89 ha (220 acres) of adjoining forest were bequeathed to the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society. In 1995, the Bushy Park Trust took over ownership of the homestead, and now leases the building for proprietors to operate as accommodation and as an events venue. The main homestead is registered as a Category I historic place by Heritage New Zealand, and the adjacent stables buildings are registered as a Category II historic place.
