The house was built in 1870 on a plateau overlooking Port Darwin. In the late nineteenth century, John George Knight made a tropical grove with terraced walks. This was restored by Hilda Abbott in the 1930s and the garden was extended in the 1970s. There is a gazebo, herb garden and Flagpole Lawn (the oldest cultivated lawn in Darwin).
