Sydney custom itinerary - Gothic revival architecture Bronte House

We are happy to create a custom itinerary in any of our tours including highlights of Australian architectural history. Bronte House was built between 1843-1845 and the style of the building has been described as ‘Australian Gothic revival’. It is located a few hundred metres from Bronte Beach (a beach south of Bondi Beach).

Bronte House has some lush gardens which blend into the Bronte gully rainforest. You could well be somewhere on the north coast of NSW.

Bronte House is only open on one or two weekends each year. From time to time the Waverley Council website posts the details of future opening dates.

The first picture is a view of Bronte House from the backyard followed by an image of a Moreton Bay fig as you look towards Bronte gully.

Moreton Bay figs are a native tree of Eastern Australian and have seriously large root systems. Definitely not a plant for the average backyard!
