Position on map:

Hardy’s House, built circa 1890s, is historically significant as one of the oldest remaining domestic dwellings in Mudgeeraba. The house is representative of the design and form of the ‘Queenslander’ style of timber and iron house that was once common on the Gold Coast. As a result of rapid development on the Gold Coast, which has transformed rural areas into suburban environments, these types of early houses are now becoming increasingly rare. The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of early Gold Coast domestic vernacular construction. The house has a special association with the pioneering family, the Hardy’s, in particular James Hardy, who played a major role in the early economic development of the Springbrook and Mudgeeraba district.
