Somewhere different to visit in Brisbane is Newstead House. Gracious old house open for inspection with guided tours by enthusiastic volunteers. Morning tea can be purchased and enjoyed on the open verandah which overlooks the spacious grounds and river. Interesting to tour the house and learn how it has been extended over time. Grounds have good picnic facilities, esp down... More

An immaculate representation of life way back! Attention to detail is wonderful, as is the way in which the helpful staff are willing to share their knowledge. Obviously they love doing what they do! Well worth a visit.

Newstead House Park is a small park at the mouth of the Breakfast Creek. You will see the traffic on the Brisbane River from here. Tropical trees and plants will server for shadow in the summer sun.

Newstead House is on the banks of the Brisbane River in Newstead. The house is an iconic landmark in Brisbane and has always been special to me as that is where my parents were married. Interesting historical site with a beautiful garden and lawn area running down to the banks of the Brisbane River.

We enjoyed this rare piece of history in Brisbane. The staff were extremely helpful in explaining the history of the house and its surrounds, and there is plenty to see here. I particularly enjoyed the servants' quarters in the basement, which were very atmospheric. A hugely underrated tourist attraction in my opinion.
