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 operating as both a house museum and venue spaces to hire. Newstead House stands as a living connection between Brisbane’s past and present and is the ideal backdrop to host your next event.

From its modest beginnings as a two-story Georgian cottage to the grand home it is today, Newstead House features a beautiful fountain courtyard and garden, wrap-around Verandah with cool river breezes, and even an underground Cellar rich in unique history and charm. With a wide range of event options, Newstead House is the perfect location for wedding ceremonies and receptions, corporate functions, launch events, long lunches and dinners, high tea, private dining, and cocktail celebrations.

Newstead Studios is an architecturally designed creative hub and event space set in a beautifully restored Brisbane warehouse and offers a unique configuration of event spaces ideal for corporate and private functions, cocktail parties, private dining, and special occasions.
