Hay Street Kalgoorlie is the home to one of the world's oldest working brothels. Questa Casa has been in known operation for years and is possibly the worlds oldest working brothel. The historical brothel offers tourists the unique opportunity to experience life from a bygone era. Still operating, the girls throw open these infamous doors nightly.
The guided tour lasts approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes and takes you through the historical working areas of the house; through the starting stalls at the front where the ladies first talk to the gentleman sometimes they are caught doing other things!! The cramped rooms, which are freezing in winter and stifling hot in summer, give a unique insight into the life of those who frequented these world famous illegal houses. Hear stories of how it was in "old" Kalgoorlie, for the ladies and those often lonely miners who visited them.
Discover why, despite complaining bitterly about the working conditions, the ladies flocked here and kept coming back time and time again.
Due to the fact that Questa Casa is an operating brothel, it is a government regulation that nobody under the age of 18 is allowed on the premises. Due to technical issues online booking is not available.
