What travelers say:

Ayers Mansion Museum Ayers House Museum is located at the east end of Adelaide Culture Avenue - North Street (North Terrace), southwest of the Botanical Garden. The building was built in the late 19th century and was the residence of South Australian Governor Henry • Sir Ayers (his name is Uluru Ayers Rock in the Northern Territory). Today, half of the museum is open to the public, and visitors can only visit with guided tours to see the rich life of the 19th century. Others have become private clubs for weddings and events. Ayers House is hailed as Adelaide's finest Victorian home, this carefully restored home is one of the last remaining 19th century great buildings on North Street. Sir Henry built and decorated a magnificent family home, reflecting the luxurious lifestyle of the wealthy colonial society. For decades, the house was the centre of Ayers' family life and the recreational home of Adelaide's socialites and political elites, and in the 1860s Mrs Ayers sent a personal invitation to Adelaide's upper class to her exclusive dance party. Now we are experiencing 19th-century South Australia through the life of the seven-term governor. Sir Henry bought the property in 1871, and then hired the chief designer of Adelaide's founder William • Wright William Light, the colony of Adelaide, Kingston Kingston, to carefully create this large Victorian colonial building that was displayed before us. House. Sir Henry • Ayers is a distinguished eminent person who has served as governor of South Australia seven times, cabinet minister 11 times, and has been involved in many institutions in the state - no wonder he chose to live in the city!
