Great tour
非常有趣的導覽，有讓人彷彿置身在歷史中體驗這一家人當時的生活的感覺，房子內部的場景也保持得很好，相當精緻。每個房間中的小細節也都很有意思，10.25塊很值得

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

導覽盡責，可惜我英文不佳，唯一缺憾是沒帶去地下室(我猜想是僕人或管家住的地方)
