is located alongside the Royal Botanic Gardens, overlooking Sydney Harbour. It was formerly the official residence, and remains the official reception space, of the Governor of New South Wales. It was designed by Edward Blore, in the Gothic revival architectural style. Building commenced in 1837 with Governor George Gipps becoming the first resident in 1845. It is now managed by the Historic Houses Trust of New South Wales as a museum.
The Lodge is a sandstone cottage that stands beside the Government House Gate entrance of the Royal Botanic Gardens, leading to Government House. It was designed by Mortimer Lewis in the Gothic architectural style, as an exact copy of one of the lodges at the entrance gates of the Royal Park at Windsor Castle in the United Kingdom. The sandstone cottage was built in 1846 as the guardhouse of Government House and was originally sited at the main entrance on Macquarie Street. It moved to its present location in 1915 when the stables were converted to the Conservatorium of Music.
The Vista Pavilion is an octagonal shelter pavilion located in the Royal Botanical Gardens. It was designed by Government Architect Walter Vernon and built in 1907.
Built at the NSW Government Railway’s Eveleigh workshops in 1917, remained in service until 1967. It was restored between 1990 and 2004.
Bench on the grounds of Government House overlooks the Royal Botanic Gardens and out towards Mrs Macquarie’s Chair and across Sydney Harbour.
