Surrounded by 10 hectares of picturesque gardens and grounds, Vaucluse House is one of Sydney’s only surviving 19th-century harbourside estates, dating back to 1803. The sandstone mansion built in the 1830s was the home of explorer, barrister and agitator for self-government William Charles Wentworth and his family. Stretching down to the harbour, the estate is a peaceful oasis away from the city bustle, and many of the Wentworth family’s possessions are displayed throughout the house.

The rich historical significance of Vaucluse House adds atmosphere to every event. Give your guests a fascinating behind-the-scenes perspective on this property with a specialised curator-led tour inside the house, or in the gardens with our onsite horticultural team. Please ask our venue services team for more details.
