What to expect

Vaucluse House is a nineteenth-century harbourside estate with a house, kitchen wing, stables, and outbuildings, surrounded by ten hectares of formal gardens and grounds. The gothic-style mansion features lavish entertaining rooms and functional 'downstairs' areas, showcasing the social aspirations and lifestyles of the Wentworth family, who lived there from 1827 to 1853 and again in 1861 to 1862. The estate includes a cafe, restaurant, shop, and picnic area, making it a great place to visit with family. The house also offers a learning program for children, where they can learn about what it was like to live at Vaucluse House for the wealthy family and their servants
