What You Will Visit:

Olveston House
A 35-room Jacobean mansion built by David Theomin in 1906, Olveston House is filled with treasures collected on Theomin's world travels. It is a stunning example of the stately architecture created for the privileged families of Dunedin's high society. This historic home became a museum in 1967. Walk through its lavish rooms and step back in time, as little has changed since it was occupied as the family home. Admire modern touches incorporated into its design such as an elevator and an electric generator as well as ornate furnishings, antiques and artwork from around the globe. (Note: no interior photography permitted.)

This is New Zealand's oldest botanic gardens, home to a rhododendron dell and a rose garden. The lower gardens feature rose and herb plots, a duck pond, a band rotunda, a Japanese garden and the rippling waters of Lindsay Creek.
