Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Arrived earlier than 10am so the pedestrian entry was closed, walked up the road and entered via the gardens at the main entrance. Paid the entry fee to explore the interior of the house. Morning guided tour (no bookings needed) wasn’t til 11.30am so short walk to the new cafe at the carpark and had a delicious scone with jam & cream and coffee. Yum! Only a small group in our free guided tour. Diane was our guide and she was superb. Just over an hour and we learnt a lot. Enjoyed seeing the tapestries and all the paintings. Gardens weren’t as beautiful as I expected for Spring. They would be better in October when all the roses are in bloom.Written 28 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Quenton EGawler, Australia74 contributionsSome of the photos on this site are of Government House in the city, so I have added some photos of "Old Government House" which is located in the Belair National Park. The house and gardens are open the first Sunday of every month and public holidays. Enrty is by a gold coin ($2) donation. The house has been restored and beautifully decorated and furnished in the Victorian era to represent the well to do of the era. We spent about an hour looking through the house and Servants quarters/large kitchen building and surrounding gardens. The plunge pool inside the house was a surprise and is beleived to be the first built in the state. Talk to the volunteer guides as they are a wealth of knowledge about the house and gardens. There were children amongst the groups visiting when we visited and they were fascinated listening to the guide about different items in the kitchen - so will interest all ages.Written 5 December 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ynadqnorManila, Philippines1,388 contributionsIt is a beautiful garden near the Adelaide Oval and within speaking distance of the magnificent St Peter’s Cathedral. People from all walks of life spends a quiet day sitting and reading books while taking advantage of the tranquility and calmness of this garden within the city. It is a good place to unwind after a day in office. It is named the Pennington Garden.Written 19 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
