New Zealand's finest historic mansion furnished with all the original contents set within a 'Garden of National Significance.'

Olveston was build for Dunedin Buisnessman, collector and philantropist David Theomin and was a family home from 1906 - 1966.

With no heirs ti inheri, Olveston and the origional contents were gifted to the city of Dunedin.

Furinshed with the Theomin's vast collection of fine artworks, furniture and artefacts purchased from all around the world, Olveston is a time capsule as little as changed inside the house since it was occupied as a family home.
