Te Wharepuni O Anehana  91 Mcivor Road, Waikiwi, Invercargill Google Map Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Invercargill’s Te Wharepuni o Anehana to the New Zealand Heritage List as a Wāhi Tūpuna. The wharepuni was constructed in 1925 and was one of only three carved whare in the South Island in 1972, and the first whare in Te Wai Pounamu to be given wāhi tūpuna status. Commissioned by wealthy landowner Sir Robert Anderson in the 1920s as a fashionable ‘Māori house in the garden’ to complement their new stately neo-Georgian home, the carvings – a central part of the wharepuni – were created by master carver Tene Waitere – before being attached to a purpose-built frame. “Tene Waitere was born in Mangamuka around 1853 and was trained by tohunga whakairo Wero Taroi in the Ngāti Tarāwhai carving style, becoming part of the special Ngāti Tarawhai lineage of carvers whose prolific works had such a significant impact on the Māori tradition of wood carving in New Zealand and overseas,” says James Schuster, one of Tene’s descendants and a carver in his own right. “Tene Waitere worked on several meeting houses around Taupō and Rotorua along with other expert carvers like Anaha Te Rahui and Neke Kapua. Some of these share very similar whakairo figures to those at Te Wharepuni o Anehana. “Many meeting houses were used to manaaki visitors to the region – including Hinemihi o te Ao Tawhito at Te Wairoa, which withstood the 1886 Tarawera eruption and sheltered many, including Tene Waitere and his whānau.” Ngā Hau e Whā 193 Conon Street Appleby Invercargill 9812 Ph: 03-218 7773
