Government House Community Tour

Government House tours offer a unique insight into the constitutional, ceremonial, international and community engagement duties of the Governor.

Free tours for members of the public are offered on Friday mornings at 10.00am - 11.30am. Advance bookings are essential.

Tours are led by a Senior Government House staff member and include a visit to the Kitchen Garden.

Visitors need to pass through a security checkpoint and bag inspection before entering Government House. For security purposes, bags are not permitted inside the House. Bags and backpacks will be stored in a safe location within the grounds.

Given the size of the house and grounds a reasonable level of fitness is recommend. There are some steps, small hills and uneven surfaces.

Please ensure you list the full name of each attendee when making your booking.

Tours can be cancelled in extreme weather or for operational reasons. We will provide you with as much notice as possible.
