Services and Facilities

In the heart of Brisbane City and overlooking the Botanic Gardens, Old Government House was the official residence of the Governors of Queensland up until 1910, and is the perfect location for an elegant and sophisticated event or function. Following an extensive refurbishment by QUT, Old Government House has been freshly restored to its former glory.

The lower floor of The House boasts three interconnecting reception rooms including The Hall with stunning feature staircase and overhanging hand crafted chandelier and The Dining Room and The Drawing Room, both leading onto outdoor verandahs. Also located on the lower floor is The Billiard Room, ideal for corporate presentations, board meetings and an intimate dining experience.

The Cellar, with its subterranean location provides the perfect ambience to host a memorable occasion that departs from both convention and expectation.

On the second level of The House, The Day Nursery offers a private meeting room with an abundance of natural light.
