Government House, Official residence in Stanley, Falkland Islands.

Government House is the official residence of the Governor of the Falkland Islands, located on Ross Road in Stanley. The building has a stone core at its center and has grown over time through several additions, with gardens surrounding the property.

The building was designed under Governor Moody and completed in 1845, then became the first permanent home for Falkland Islands governors in 1859. That change marked a step toward more settled administration on the islands.

Government House has been the governor's residence and offices since the mid-19th century, and the 1982 surrender of Governor Rex Hunt was negotiated here after Argentine commandos surrounded the building. The conservatory on the northern side was visited by Prince Philip in 1991. The house is a listed building.

The interior is not open to visitors, but the facade and gardens can be seen from Ross Road without entering the property. Walking along the street gives a clear view of the building from different angles.

The conservatory on the north side of Government House was visited by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, during his 1991 tour of the Falklands. It shelters a Black Hamburg grapevine, one of the world's southernmost. The glasshouse runs along the ground floor of the house, with a pale framework visible from the lawn.
