Gorgeous home and garden left to the people of Dunedin. You have to book a “tour” and unfortunately we felt our guide rushed us through (We were only a small group of 3 and didn’t have all the answers we were looking for or else wouldn’t answer our questions about the history of the people of house until we were in the correct room). It was a little scripted but worth the trip. A lot of the house was off limits ie tutors room, top floor and bottom floor/basement area. They need a brochure or leaflet with some history of the house, owners, furnishings and a map of the building and gardens.

Well worth a visit. This house is jammed packed with all its original features and collections. The tour guide was full of interesting information about the family and the history. Really enjoyed our time their and will go vaccine and do the behind the ropes tour and art tour.

One of the most comprehensive historical premises I have ever seen. Everything totally preserved and in immaculate condition. This is a must see if you are ever in Dunedin and are interested in early settler history.Our guide was well spoken and knowable. Fantastic restorative has taken place here and must not be missed.

Beautifully presented and preserved home and collection! Easy to book for the tour, tour guide very knowledgeable, something for everyone, even my husband liked it. Great gardens too!

This is an amazing place. You can get to see blast from the past. It's an amazing family house. I personally enjoyed the tour and learned lot about Olveston's family

Thank you for your informative tour; what a lovely house to visit. It’s hard to think of another home in NZ that is preserved in such a way, with its fabulous art collection intact. The owners had wonderful taste and we recommend that anyone visiting Dunedin take the time to explore the garden and take the tour.

An important Ōtepoti site of historical importance. Visiting Olveston is like stepping back in time, it's a must do if you are visiting Dunedin, but also if you're a local. The tour guides are very knowledgeable and make the house come alive again with the stories they tell about the original occupants.

It is trip worthy to go. seeing the interior design of this heritage house, sure not only for seeing the rooms, also it is chance to all the collections room by room are the highlight of my visit. I was so glad to see the diversity of authentic art collections here. Some Chinese and Japanese art do bring the pride and joy to my trip.

Olveston was such an interesting historic house and immaculately presented, as were the gardens. Our guide was very nice and so knowledgeable, the hour went all too quickly. It's certainly a treasure for Dunedin.
