Ganz nett...

Die Führung war ganz ok, aber als verwöhnter Europäer was Kunst, Kultur, Antiquitäten betrifft wirklich nicht mehr. Es fanden zu viele Führungen parallel statt, so dass es oft recht laut wurde und das Ambiente gestört hat. Definitiv kein Muss für mich in Duedin.

Snapshot in time

Excellent tour guide who was knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. The house and contents are a wonderful snapshot in time and Dunedin is lucky to have this asset gifted to them.

Olveston Historic Home

I would highly recommend to give this a visit. It is foremost the most wonderful and pure example of living in the last century especially given that it is a real and living family that have done so as a,gift to Dunedin. It was,easy to book and get too. The guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the house contents and family. Very welcoming and friendly as we're all the staff. Thank you so much
