Peninsula Farm (Tranby House)

Peninsula Farm, also known as Tranby House, is a heritage-listed colonial farmhouse on the Maylands Peninsula in Perth, Western Australia. Built between 1839 and 1840 by Joseph Hardey, a Wesleyan settler who arrived on the brig Tranby in 1830, it is one of the earliest surviving residences of the Swan River Colony. Managed by the National Trust of Western Australia, the property overlooks the Swan River and preserves early colonial architecture, period furnishings and farming history.

Visitors can expect a modest two-storey colonial farmhouse set on a grassy peninsula overlooking the Swan River. The interior is presented with period furniture and displays interpreting the Hardey family and early colonial life. Surroundings include heritage gardens, lawns and river views. Access is typically by guided tour with volunteers explaining the building's construction, conservation and domestic history. The site is compact and experienced on foot within the house and grounds.
