Fairymead House, Heritage-listed plantation house in Bundaberg, Australia.

Fairymead House is a two-story timber and masonry building in Bundaberg built in the Indian Bungalow style. It features high ceilings, wide verandahs, and a hipped corrugated iron roof that defines its character.

The house was built in 1890 for Ernest and Margaret Young, pioneers who established one of Bundaberg's first sugar plantations. It represents the development of the sugar industry in the region during its early years.

The rooms display original furnishings and objects that reflect how sugar plantation owners lived in the late 1800s. You can see what daily life looked like for wealthy families of that era and the kinds of things they kept around them.

The house has been located in the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens since 1989 and operates as a museum with displays. Visitors can walk through the rooms and see historical exhibits about the sugar industry in Queensland.

Fairymead takes its name from a family friend who, seeing the cane fields on a misty morning, called the place a "fairy mead". The name was first used for the subdivided blocks of the Brown brothers' Tantitha cattle property, which the Youngs bought in 1878.
