Homebush is a rural area in the Masterton District and Wellington Region of New Zealand's North Island. It is about 3 km southeast of Masterton.

The historic house at 10 Homebush Road was designed by Charles Natusch in 1891 for William Lucena. Lucena died very soon after the house was complete.[3]
