Very beautiful house that is used by the Governor of Sarawak. Can only be viewed from the outside either from across the river or take the ferry over and catch it on the way to the orchid garden. All lit up at night.

You can only enjoy good view from waterfront. Nice view during both day time and night time. Public are not allow to visit Astana.
It looks beautiful at night all lit up. Unfortunatly you cannot visit it. We drove up to it but were not allowed in
It's beautiful viewed from across the water or from a boat, but it's closed to the public. This was something that none of the locals or people at our hostel seemed aware of, and my friend and I spent quite a bit of time trying to visit it!
You can't enter this place but you can see it from the waterfront and take a good picture s specially during after Sunday when the lights is on. It's a place used to be used for governor stay.

It's a building over the water which you cannot enter... Very pointless, there's and million and one better and more interesting things to do in Kuching. This is not an attraction...
The governor of Sarawak used to reside in this gorgeous colonial building. We heard that it is used to receive visiting dignitaries, so travellers aren't allowed to enter the premises.
Nice to snap photos when we are at the water front in the evening.Disliked as we can·t enter it and come nearer.
Good location to photograph from the waterfront and over the water. No visitors inside which is a shame as it could be really grand. Good landmark
