Government House

Government House adds a practical South Yarra/Domain heritage-tour record distinct from the wider Kings Domain park listing and La Trobe's Cottage. The Governor of Victoria's official tour page says members of the public can join free tours led by Government House staff, with a roughly 90-minute route through the State Apartments and Kitchen Garden explaining the House's history and contemporary civic role. Use it only as a booked-tour stop: the source says general public tours run on selected Friday mornings for groups of 15 to 25, bookings are essential and released three months ahead, visitors need photo ID and security screening, bags cannot be taken inside the House, tours can be cancelled for operational reasons, there are steps, small hills, and uneven surfaces, and wheelchair access, disabled toilets, tram access, and limited nearby metered parking are available.
