Tips

July 13, 2026

Old Government House is a heritage stone residence built in 1860 as the official summer home of South Australia’s early governors. Nestled within Belair National Park, it’s a beautifully preserved house that offers a peek into colonial life, with restored period furnishings, well-maintained gardens, and interpretive displays that explain the property’s history. It’s one of the park’s most significant historic landmarks and is typically open to visitors on holidays and the first and third Sundays of most months. You can also visit the park’s website to schedule a guided tour.
