Our tour was amazing. House is truly a gem. In the middle of Dunedin and our tour was informative and gave us a real look at the family and life back then. My 11 year old found this really interesting. Great job those of you who keep this history for us to enjoy.

I have lived in Dunedin for over 20 years and have never visited Olveston before. I was completely blown away by how amazing the home was. The tour guide was fabulous and offered loads of interesting information. I can't believe we have this amazing treasure in our city and that I didn't know about it. I will be telling all my friends that they should put this on their agenda. Very impressed and will definitely be back. Thanks
