Set within the Kingston UNESCO World Heritage Site, this handsome Georgian mansion is the official residence of the Administrator of Norfolk Island. Having been around since 1829, Government House is steeped in history and still has many antique furnishings and period features.

Government House is accessible to the public only on select open days. On these days you can tour the formal reception rooms, where our official ceremonies and community functions are often held.

If you miss out on the rare opportunity to step inside, it’s still worth a visit to admire this stately building from afar. Surrounded by rolling hills covered in iconic Norfolk pines, the house makes for a picturesque photo opportunity. After you’ve taken a few artistic architectural shots, go for a stroll through the rest of Kingston to learn more about our fascinating history.
