Government House, Hobart, Victorian Gothic residence in Queens Domain, Hobart, Australia.

Government House is the governor of Tasmania's official residence on Lower Domain Road in the Queens Domain, Hobart. Designed by colonial architect William Porden Kay, it is an early Victorian Gothic Revival country house built from 1855 to 1857, with sandstone quarried on site and a slate roof from Wales. It has 73 rooms, including a ballroom, a French Room and a conservatory rebuilt in 1991.

The building was designed by architect William Porden Kay and replaced two earlier government residences when completed in 1857. Its construction marked the start of its long use as an official seat of government leadership.

The house is still the governor's working residence: the governor and his deputy keep their offices in the building, and government meetings and business dinners are held there through the year. Since 1990 an annual open day, begun under governor General Sir Phillip Bennett, lets the public in. Much of the furniture ordered for the house in the 1850s and shipped from England is still in daily use.

Government House has held an annual open day since 1990, introduced by then governor General Sir Phillip Bennett. It stands on Lower Domain Road in the Queens Domain, next to the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, on a hill above the Derwent estuary. The 37-acre grounds are not generally open, so plan around the open day.

Recycled timber from an old ship and Welsh slate were built into the construction, giving the building an unexpected connection to maritime history. The ornamental pools on the grounds originated as byproducts of the original excavation work.
