The Queensland Government recently announced funding for the refurbishment of Newstead House.  During this exciting time we are CLOSED.

The Jewel In The Crown...

Newstead House was once the finest home in the colony of Moreton Bay, boasting a reputation for hosting lavish parties, it was considered the place to be – the heart of Brisbane’s social life. Built in 1846, it is now Brisbane’s oldest standing European residence and tells the story of early colonial life in Brisbane…of ambition, loss and resilience. Operating as a House Museum the grand home is considered the Jewel in the Crown of South East Queensland historic properties & continues to inspire living history in the tradition it was once revered.
