All items are stored in a locked, secure room at reception. Cameras and security devices operate throughout the building. Photography without flash and for non-commercial purpose is permitted. Video is not permitted. We do ask that you be considerate of others on the tour and photographing items must not delay the guide.

Disabled car parking is available. The house and galleries accommodate wheelchair access, although access is limited in some areas of the house, which is a Federation villa. Mobility scooters are not suitable for use in either the house or the galleries. Both ambulant and non-ambulant toilets are available.
Please make us aware of the special needs of any member of your group in advance of your arrival, so that we can offer every assistance.
