Description

'Atawhai' was built in 1908 for Edwin Keiller. It was designed by the architect Natusch and built by Arthur Bennett. The residence had seventeen rooms, plus service rooms, and remained in the Keiller family until 1963 when the Presbyterian Educational purposes Trust bought the house for a student hostel. It was renamed Fergusson Hall and remains a hostel for students of Massey University at 150 Atawhai Drive (2009).
