Kirribilli House is the secondary official residence of the prime minister of Australia. Located in the Northern Sydney suburb of Kirribilli, New South Wales, the cottage and its associated grounds are located at the far eastern end of Kirribilli Avenue. It is one of two official prime ministerial residences, the primary official residence being The Lodge in Canberra. The house, gardens and grounds are on the Commonwealth Heritage List.[1][2]

Although Kirribilli was never intended to be the Prime Minister's official primary place of residence,[citation needed] John Howard, Tony Abbott and Scott Morrison have used the house as such.[3]
