The official residence of the Governor of Western Australia, Government House is an important part of Perth’s history.

This magnificent building was completed in 1864 and is of both architectural and historic significance to the city.

Government House is set across 3.2 hectares of beautiful gardens, lawns and trees and is also a tourist...

The Government House is a historic landmark offering a glimpse into WA's colonial past. Its stunning Jacobean Revival architecture and beautifully maintained gardens make it a must-visit. The Guided tours furnish me with rich insights into the building's history and the lives of past governors. It's a serene escape in the heart of the city, perfect for a leisurely stroll during its opening hours.
