Kenilworth Homestead, Heritage homestead in Kenilworth, Australia.

Kenilworth Homestead is a timber residence built about 1865 on the Kenilworth Station run on the east bank of the Mary River. Its internal woodwork is finely finished, and the main house lacks visible horizontal framing or bracing, unlike other Queensland homesteads of its age. A slab hut, since rebuilt, stood on the station by 1871, and a silky oak barn lined with quandong was added about 1901.

Richard Joseph Smith established the cattle station in 1850, receiving official approval for the property in 1855. The site developed from working livestock land into a residence with historical importance.

The name Kenilworth comes from Walter Scott's novel of the same title, chosen by Charles Frederick Parkinson or his wife. The Rowe family, owners since 1925, turned the former pastoral property toward tourism. A ball opened the 1901 silky oak barn, raising money for Gympie Hospital.

Visitors can choose from different accommodation options while exploring the grounds, ranging from camping to more comfortable rooms. It helps to wear appropriate clothing for moving around the larger property outdoors.

The main building displays uncommon construction techniques with hidden horizontal supports and intricate wood joinery throughout. This building method was unusual for its era and shows the skilled craftsmanship brought by Orkney Islands artisans.
