Visit historic Lindesay and step back into the gracious life of early Sydney. Majestic views of the harbour across a landscaped foreshore park are a reminder of the days when Lindesay was the only residence on Darling Point. Built in 1834 by Colonial Treasurer Cambell Drummond Riddell, the property was the first colonial house built in the Gothic Style. Lindesay may be hired for special functions and is available for inspection (by arrangement).

Built in 1834 on Sydney's Darling Point by the new Colonial Treasurer, Campbell Drummond Riddell, Lindesay was the first property to grace Darling Point. Its high position made it visible for miles around and allowed it to command a sweeping view of the Harbour. Owned by the National Trust since 1963, the house contains a fine collection of English and Colonial furniture. Its gardens and gracious interiors offer a special opportunity to step back into the lifestyle of the early colonials.

Guided group tours by appointment from Monday to Saturday. Open to the Public 1st Thursday of the month (expect January) 10am - 2pm.
