I had a very enjoyable experience today at the open day for government house. It was a delight to be welcomed by the governor and her partner in person. The highlight was to be able to walk around the gardens including the orchard and the vineyard. Ok its not Versailles but it is an absolute must to see for all locals. I was very impressed to see that actually behind government house it is a village that is very productive! I would love the gardens to be open to the public for picnics and events more often in summer!! Thanks again for a memorable day.

I’m disappointed we weren’t able to go upstairs and eat in the dining room. Somehow I believed that it’s customary to shake hands with Her Excellency upon entering Government House and as a thank you for visiting the Governor treats you to free eggs and bacon. (Might have been confused with a governors wife serving eggs and bacon down at Eggs and Bacon Bay). Anyhoo, if you’re a Tasmanian you must use this opportunity to have a gander, and also ponder whether it should still exist.

It's a beautiful house of Tasmania's government with Victorian architecture that overlooks the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. The warmest reception from Her Excellency Professor the Honourable Kate Warner and husband Mr. Richard Warner was very nice, such an honorable moment..

Excellent tour of the gardens at Government House. Booking done online. Tour guide is very knowledgeable and has interesting stories connected with the trees. It is not just a tour for gardeners and botanists.

Such an amazing location. Full of history. The best food there is.

Do one of the tours they do on a Thursday.

A home of reasonable size. Bit dated

Nice Architecture...
