Government House Suva
Government House
The official residence of Fiji's president. The sentries, who wear red jackets and sulu skirts, performing the changing of the guard at the gate are a highlight.
Government House was built in 1928 as the residence of British colonial governors and is now the official residence of Fiji's President. The interior is not open to the public. The sentries at the gate wear red jackets and white scalloped-edge sulu skirts. A more formal changing-of-the-guard ceremony takes place on the morning of the first Friday of each month. At other times, you can take photos outside the gate (but do not get too close). Located on the south side of Thurston Gardens, it can be visited together with the Fiji Museum.
