Gabbinbar homestead, Heritage-listed villa in Middle Ridge, Toowoomba, Australia.

Gabbinbar homestead is a Victorian-era house in Toowoomba, Queensland, built with timber and featuring French doors that open to wide verandahs. A central entrance vestibule connects spacious living areas, while extensive gardens surround the property.

Reverend William Lambie Nelson commissioned architect Willoughby Powell to design this substantial homestead in 1876. The building later served as a summer residence for Queensland governors.

The name Gabbinbar was used for the property of Rev. William Lambie Nelson, and the house became the focus of social events on the Darling Downs during Sir Hugh Nelson's time. Its ballroom, added around 1881, hosted family wedding receptions and Christmas parties, and probably many social events during the governors' occupancy.

The property sits on Ramsay Street and now functions as a wedding and events venue. Visitors can explore the preserved architecture while modern facilities support its use for gatherings.

The first building on the site, a small red brick house, survives and now serves as the kitchen. The gardeners cottage was moved here in 1932; it is thought to have been a church before use as a billiards room. A gatehouse couple once opened the gates for visitors who rang the bell.
