Newstead House invites you to step back in time and enjoy a relaxed, enriching day in Brisbane with The Funtastic Tour Company. This thoughtfully paced tour blends history, heritage, and good food, making it perfect for over-50s who enjoy learning, comfort, and friendly company.
Your day begins with a comfortable coach journey from the Sunshine Coast. We pause at BP Burpengary for a comfort stop, where you can enjoy a coffee at your own expense before continuing into Brisbane.
Late morning, we arrive at the iconic Breakfast Creek Hotel. This heritage-listed pub has been a Brisbane favourite since the late 1800s. With its beautiful ironwork, classic interiors, and leafy beer garden beside the creek, it is the perfect place to enjoy a leisurely lunch. Known for generous meals and warm hospitality, it offers a true taste of Brisbane tradition.
After lunch, we travel a short distance to Newstead House. Set beside the Brisbane River, this elegant residence is the city’s oldest surviving home. Built in 1846, it has witnessed Brisbane’s colonial past, wartime years, and social change. A guided tour brings the stories to life as you explore the furnished rooms, wide verandahs, and peaceful gardens.
Take time to soak up the river views and quiet charm of the grounds. It feels worlds away from the busy city, yet remains rich with history and character. This visit to Newstead House offers a gentle and fascinating insight into Brisbane’s early life.
