WA Government Review

An amazing building, the Government House Ballroom is an amazing place for a concert.

Beautiful gardens with plenty of space to go and sit and enjoy your lunch under the shade of a tree. My favourite escape from the office

Government House has some stunning gardens that are normally open to the public 12pm-2pm Tuesday to Friday. A great place to sit and relax.

Very nice gardens - recommend visiting when open to public. The house inside is pretty standard - British style

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.

Standing proud on St George s Terrace, the heritage listed building replaced the previous Government House which was deemed inadequate by Governor Stirling for its leaky roof.

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

So sad. WA governments really need to improve how they help disabled or vulnerable Western Australians.

Really good place for the seat of Government. Directly on the river, easily approachable by boat in the night, easily scalable walls and no visible guards. A+ would besiege again.

It is open for public view in the afternoon. You can take a stroll around the garden, watch the birds flying and ducks swimming in the pond. Man made building blended with natural beauty... a Classic site!

The gardens are so beautiful and it is so generous to leave it open for public!

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.

Great place for lunch when its open. Lovely grounds.

Beautiful lawns. Not always open to the public. No people anywhere. Could have an undisturbed picnic lunch here, kids would love the lawn slopes.

The building and the gardens seen from the outside are well worth seeing, as it is located in close proximity to the other attractions, it definitely makes sense to include it in the circuit.

Strolling through the Perth station square area and then walking east on Hayte Street, you'll come across buildings and gardens that make you think, "A European aristocratic mansion?" Looking at the nameplate, it says "Government House", and the Japanese name is "Governor's House". The official residence of the chief of Western Australia. It seems that it is provided as a place for citizens to relax, such as having an open event day called "Open Days" once a year, taking a wedding photo in the facility, and using a picnic in the garden at noon.

I really enjoyed the gardens and all the fixtures of the house. Definitely had a great visit here.

Government House is open a couple of times during the year to the public. When it is open, take hold of the opportunity to view it. It is amazing.

Professional, always have lots of information, if you know the right questions to ask.
