In 1903 the original family Homestead: Glenluce was built by McIntyre brothers - Hugh and Jack (todays Lodge Manager Kimberley’s Great, Great Grandfather). Named after Glenluce in Galloway, Scotland; it has an strong sense of heritage with the presence of the family library and books dating back to the 1800’s. The house was built mainly from tōtara trees grown and milled on the farm. Hugh and Jack's father lived in Whanganui and would often come down to give them a helping hand with the house. He was a joiner and was responsible for finer details inside Glenluce, such as the beautiful Tōtara fire surround. When they worked on the house the McIntyre’s lived in a whare which still stands today and is located opposite Glenluce where it stands as horse stables. The whare was built in 1896 when the McIntyre family first inhabited the land.
