Lovely,well presented historical house

Great afternoon learning about some local history. They have hosts onsite in traditional clothing who take you on a tour through the house. I also enjoyed a high tea on the verandah. Really lovely setting for a high tea in the historic grounds of ormiston house

Stunning location.. here to listen to Trichotomy & Black Square Quartet

Wonderful exploration into a bygone era A very authentic representation of the 1880’s to 1900 It’s a very important site as this was where Captain Louis Hope planted sugar cane

Delightful Volunteer tour of a precious 1850 early home & lovely $8 Afternoon tea on gracious verandah with superb ocean views across lawns.. Shall come again.

Lovely location. Great place to visit. People who volunteer there are knowledgable and enthusiastic.

Great afternoon out. Try to combine with a club car shows, which are held throughout the year. Also receive entry into the House.

Not just a heritage home, but a genuinely significant one as the location where sugar was first cultivated in Australia. The interiors are superbly presented and very impressive with their pressed metal ceilings and fine collection of period furniture. A worthwhile Sunday outing for everyone.

This is a lovely historical building, with generous verandah, generous lawn, and garden areas, wipe sweeping views of the bay. There was a number of helpful volunteers attending, on the day I was visiting. The history and stories behind the Ormiston building was very educational. On some days, there are even historical cars on display in their lawn. Check on their website.

Wonderful place to catch up on town's past with surprisingly interesting exhibition and amazing bay views.

Very interesting

Lovely grounds. A great place to relax

A must visit in the Redlands. Learn about the early pioneering history of the area.

Ormiston House is nicely restored part of our history & wonderful for events or an afternoon cup of your favourite

Only open Sun 12-4pm. Full tour of house built in 1800s takes approx 1h, at $8/pax, so come early enough to give yourself enough time before doors close before last tour. No specific time for tours, based on availability of volunteers who are extremely knowledgeable and patient. Our volunteer Debbie was really good! Unfortunately, many historic artefacts are lost and house is filled with donated items. Devonshire tea with scones are separate at $8/pax.

Well preserved house and outbuildings from a past era of colonial Queensland. Interesting looking at the history. Scones and tea/coffee on the verandah overlooking the water is nice (but on a busy day the coffee when served is often not hot, and is a little muddy).

Superb old big house with very high maintenance. You can see a lot of history through all the rooms. You can learn how people in the past lived without electricity there via old equipment shown. The garden is beautiful, neat and well maintained. The carpark is very close to the old historic house. The ticket is cheaper if you have a student ID. There is afternoon tea provided with a cost. There is a good looking church near the old house.

Wow lovely historic house with amazing water views. Delicious Devonshire tea on the verandah

My wife and I with a group from Able Jimboomba visited Orminston House today, what a wealth of knowledge and dedication your volunteers have, we thoroughly enjoyed the morning tea and tour. Thank you for a wonderful day 😊😊😊.

Interesting history and cheap to visit. They also offer scones and tea or coffee on the terrace which is nice. Interesting to read about the history of the place and worth the afternoon visit.

Best tea and scones for a Sunday arvo

Volunteer are beautiful people which made this historical experience lovely. Tea and scones on veranda looking out to sea ended the visit. Thanks you volunteers.

Beautiful farm set upon a farm that overlooks Moreton Bay with views to North Stradbroke Island.

Lovely grand old house and gardens. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly. $8 per adult to enter, $16 per adult if you want a Devonshire tea included.

Magnificent the over all experience Form the history to the views and tea

Absolutely beautiful historic homestead with Opera on the lawns averlooking the bay

A really nice trip to the past with very helpful guides in all the rooms, ready to share a rich local and international history. Also an enjoyable Devonshire tea. History buffs and museum lovers a must

Interesting and helpful volunteers assisting...Very knowledgeable

Had a great time and lovely High tea.

What a place for history. The staff are so warm and welcoming and great knowledge of the history of the house.

Nice morning tea with scone, jam, and cream. Wonderful views plus guided tour of Historic Ormiston House

Experienced Opera on The Lawn with my daughter and grandson. Beautiful lawns, elegant house and a very satisfying afternoon.

Walking past and court lovely view

It use to be good a couple of years ago but now it's just another crack house in a slowly declining area. I loved taking my family here now look what it has become. Junkeys out front needles in the bushes. It's just sad

Great place for high tea according to my wife and daughter.

Beautiful grounds and historic home. Attended carols evening with traditional carols, choir and talented young singers. Wonderful evening with views of the bay.

Nice place for a relaxing afternoon tea with very tasty freshly baked scones with jam & cream. A bonus is visiting the beautiful historic house with its lovely garden surroundings.

Beautiful historic Ormiston House

A real gem. Very friendly volunteer guides, and a great view over the bay. A must-see for anyone interested in QLD history.

Always fun when its community in their philopsy

Interesting place to visit full of history.

Simply wonderful

Great little piece of history and well worth visiting if you are in the area! Make sure to go for high tea! Gf options available

There is an atmosphere is peace and quiet at Ormiston House, partly from it being the genteel house of an aristocratic gentleman. And partly from the nearby Carmelite Nunnery. It really is a most beautiful spot and well worth a visit.

Ormiston House is a nice place to visit and bring the family. Beautiful gardens and the restoration/conservation of the interiors are very impressive. The place is not environmentally disable friendly. They don't have proper disable toilets and access around the house is by steps. They have folded ramps but nobody to place them, run by volunteers.

Mrs Ross was very informative on our tour! Enjoyed Devonshire tea on verandah

It was a wonderful day exploring historic Ormiston House for their craft open day. Such a lovely spot and Ormiston House such a lovely landmark...

Love it

A group of we ladies went for coffee n cones before Xmass.The ladies who volunteers there were g o at what they doing so we didn't have to wait long to be served Thumbs u

Great place to visit. Christmas carols were amazing.

Fantastic heritage - so welcoming and a great tour.

I come here for the scones and tea. If you want to relax and getaway, this is the place to do.

The lovely lady was so kind to allow me and my crew to do a photoshoot here. The rooms were all period suitable and such a great atmosphere. Im very excited to see the photos and can't wait to go back and enjoy the beautiful gardens for a high tea and caroling!!!

It was ok weren't allowed to take photographs you'd have to buy their postcards etc if you wanted any memories

Great history lesson with the tour. Learnt so much.

Great place to visit!
