Tranby House, Heritage site in Maylands, City of Bayswater, Australia.

Tranby House is an English cottage-style farmhouse on Johnson Road in Maylands, overlooking the Swan River opposite Kuljak Island. Built of brick with loft bedrooms and wide verandahs, it is one of the oldest surviving buildings from the Swan River Colony and now operates as a tourist attraction with tearooms.

Joseph Hardey arrived on the ship Tranby in 1830 and built this house in 1839 after two earlier structures were destroyed by flooding. The building came into being during a period when settlers were establishing new homes along the river and dealing with forces of nature.

The rooms inside display furnishings from the early 1800s, including a brass four-poster bed that once belonged to the original Hardey family. Visitors can see how wealthy settlers lived and what objects they valued in their homes.

The property is open for visitors to explore and has a tea room where you can spend time. It helps to wear comfortable shoes since there are grounds around the house to walk through.

The garden around the house holds oak, olive, and mulberry trees planted by the Hardey family that have stood there for many generations. Two of these oaks are even listed in the National Trust Register and are considered worth protecting.
