Government House
​
Government House in Wellington is a large, two-storeyed house, with a grand staircase, dozens of large and small rooms, long corridors and a flag tower.
Its principal designer was Claude Paton, the assistant to the Government Architect, John Campbell (the designer of Parliament Buildings). It was built between 1908 and 1910. The first Vice-regal resident was Lord Islington, Governor from 1910 to 1912.
The house has eight guest suites, a self-contained apartment for the Governor-General and her spouse, as well as a ballroom, conservatory, sitting rooms, service rooms, kitchens and a wing of offices. The House has a floor area of about 4,200 square metres.
​
Other facilities include a tennis court and pavilion, a small swimming pool, a Second World War-era bomb shelter, a squash court, and garages.
​
The grounds cover about 12 hectares, including flat lawns and gardens, and steep hillside. Exotic species of trees are increasingly being complemented by trees and shrubs native to New Zealand. The grounds, which are maintained by contract gardeners, were extensively redeveloped and re-landscaped in the late 1990s.
