Board your coach for a drive along the coast road to Olveston House. Built in the early 1900s for local businessman, David Theomin, the Jacobean style, grace and grandeur of Olveston is distinguished by a wealth of decorative detail. A walk around the grand house allows an intimate glimpse of the lifestyle of a privileged family in the early 1900s. It is filled with treasures collected from all over the world. The house was bequeathed to the city of Dunedin by Theomin’s daughter in 1966.
Leaving Olveston you will drive the short distance to New Zealand's oldest Botanical Gardens. Established in 1863, the charming Gardens span 72 acres and feature native and specialised plant collections including the famed Rhododendron Dell and Rose Garden.
A panoramic drive will take you past Otago University, classic Dunedin buildings, Otago Harbour and nearby beach communities to the picturesque Dunedin Train Station, before returning to the ship.
