Edendale Homestead (Donald Macdonald, proprietor), Edendale. This property was the homestead of the Edendale estate, the balance of which was taken over for closer settlement, by the Government, in June, 1904. Mr Donald Macdonald, formerly manager of the estate, now owns the homestead and the adjacent land, which he works on his own account. The homestead is picturesquely situated a mile and a-half from the Eden- page 1071 dale railway station, on the DunedinInvercargill line, and the approach to the house is through a beautifull avenue of native trees, such as totara, black and white pine, matai, etc. The grounds attached to the house are tastefully laid out and divided into flower and kitchen gardens, and orchards.
