Midday on a Tuesday or Friday is the only time the curator shows visitors inside. Any other day, see the balconied front from the lawns.

Visiting

From the lawns you see open balconies on the two upper floors, facing the South Shore. The house is kept for government dinners, and no premier has ever lived in it.

On a tour, a cedar staircase climbs past portraits of former premiers to a drawing room with a Waterford crystal chandelier. The dining room seats twenty four at cedar tables, and one cabinet maker spent some thirty years on those tables and a bird's-eye cedar wall panel.

Next door, the estate's old arrowroot factory is now the Masterworks museum, a few minutes' walk away.

Know before you goRing the gardens to find out whether the tours are running that week. Without a tour, you see the house from the lawns.
