Venue Hire
The historic charm and its proximity to the centre of Darwin City make the Myilly Point Heritage Precinct an ideal venue for weddings, receptions, exhibitions and private events.
Appointed as the Commonwealth Government principal architect in the Northern Territory in 1937, Beni Burnett is credited with being one of the first architects to design appropriate houses for Australia's tropical north. Burnett created a series of house designs including those at Myilly Point, which were designated by an "alphanumeric" system.
Heritage listed Burnett House (gardens only) and Audit House (house and garden) are available to hire for your event. Access to both properties is by Burnett Place and free parking is available on Burnett Place and along Kahlin Avenue.
Burnett House Gardens
The most well known house designed by Beni Burnett, Burnett House offers a little bit of Singapore in the Top End. Whether it is a small gathering or photography, Burnett House is sure to impress.
The lush garden features an attractive border of colourful evergreen shrubs. Crotons, fragipanis, bouganvillea and ficus add colour to the tropical feel of the garden and turn this urban rainforest into a private hideaway.
