Tai Jin House

This grand colonial building was once the home of the British Administrator of Christmas Island.

Perched atop a sea cliff, Tai Jin House offers splendid views over Flying Fish Cove and the vast Indian Ocean.

It is now home to a fascinating museum telling the story of Christmas Island’s past.

The beautiful gardens of Tai Jin House are a popular spot for community events or just soaking up the gorgeous vistas.

You can walk to Tai Jin House from Territory Day Park. Continue past the house to see the naval gun and buildings that were set up to defend Christmas Island during World War II.
