NEWSTEAD
HOUSE
Newstead House was once the finest home in the colony of Moreton Bay, boasting a reputation for hosting lavish parties, it was considered the place to be – the heart of Brisbane’s social life. Built in 1846, it is now Brisbane’s oldest standing European residence and tells the story of early colonial life in Brisbane… of ambition, loss and resilience.
RIVERSIDE VERANDAH
The generous Newstead House wrap around verandas offer a uniquely Queensland option for your event. The Riverside Veranda opens on to a grassed terrace with spectacular views over Newstead Park, out to the Brisbane River. The Western Veranda overlooks over the elegant fountain courtyard, with views to the magnificent Moreton Bay Fig located in the circular drive.
