  Bushy Park Homestead was registered by Heritage New Zealand, then called New Zealand Historic Places Trust, on 22 November 1984 as a Category I historic place. It was recognised for being designed by one of New Zealand's foremost architects, and for its association with the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society of New Zealand.
