Government House, Western Australia

Unclaimed

Happened to pass this place when they opened their door for public. Apparently they have just been opening for public regularly only from Tue-Thurs 12-2pm. I wonder why they do not give access to public more as the building is rarely occupied, hence visitors existence wouldn't bother anything. On top that, the garden is extremely beautiful with a variety of blooming flowers and it is well maintained by the presence of many gardeners taking care of it. It is such a shame that not many people can enjoy this place.

The Government House and grounds are spectacular, however it is the Ballroom that I love. Ballroom Fit took part in a display for the Autum 2024 Government House Open Day. As always the dancers loved being able to dance in the best Ballroom in Western Australia. The Government House Ballroom is absolutely stunning.

Went to see the poppy display for ANZAC Day tyhat was set out on the undulating lawns. The display was very good, with thousands of hand made poppies inserted into the lawn.

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.

Lovely grounds and gardens for a stroll or a lunch break nestled in the heart of the city. Plenty of interesting and old trees with signage to learn their history too.
