Malcolm Turnbull will live in The Lodge, the prime minister's official residence in Canberra.

His predecessor, Tony Abbott never got the chance to stay there because it was undergoing extensive renovation during his time in office.

"When Lucy and I are in Canberra, that's where we'll live," Mr Turnbull told ABC radio on Monday.
