Anambah House, Heritage-listed homestead in Anambah, Maitland, Australia

Anambah House is a two-storey Victorian grazier's mansion of sandstock brick with a hipped slate roof, built 1889–1906 to designs by J. W. Pender. Two-storey cast-iron verandahs run along three sides, and a rear courtyard is enclosed by the main house, kitchen wing, servants' rooms and a 1906 billiard room. Inside are polished cedar joinery, stained-glass panels of birds and butterflies, and ten marble fireplaces.

Anambah House was built in 1889 for William Mackay, son of grazier J. K. Mackay, to a design by Maitland architect J. W. Pender. The Mackay family bought the property from the Cobbs in the 1870s and added a billiard room in 1906, also by Pender. It was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.

The Mackay family, descendants of Duncan Forbes Mackay, Superintendent of Prisons and Public Works in Newcastle in 1827, bought Anambah and Minimbah from the Cobbs in the 1870s. Dame Nellie Melba stayed here around 1908, as did Governors the Earl of Dudley and Lord Gowrie; in the 1950s radio entertainers Roy Rene and Jack Davey visited when Hal Lashwood lived here.

Anambah House stands on a slight hill above a lagoon about 5 km north-west of central Maitland, reached by Anambah Road and a service drive planted with pines, native trees and African olives. The house is a private residence, so there are no public opening hours; the garden, carriage loop and courtyard are not open for casual visits.

The house's stained-glass folding doors and two stair-landing windows show birds and butterflies, and ten fireplaces use pink, black, grey or white marble, each with different hearth tiles. Brass picture rails with porcelain tips and several brass curtain rods remain in place, as do electric servants' bell-pushes in most main rooms, though the original bell-board is gone.
