Olveston House
Edwardian finery is gracefully displayed at Olveston, a 35-room turn-of-the-century home designed by leading English architect Sir Ernest George for merchant David Theomin and family.
Actively involved in the affairs of Dunedin, the Theomins were cultured and well travelled and surrounded themselves with a unique collection of paintings, furniture and objets d'art.
Olveston was bequeathed to the City in the 1960s, when Dorothy Theomin died. Faithfully maintained and presented as it looked when the family lived in it, Olveston is now open to the public and is a heritage-hound's delight.

Port Chalmers
Port Chalmers is the main port of the city of Dunedin, New Zealand. Port Chalmers has a population of 3,000 and lies 10km inside Otago Harbour, some 15km northeast from Dunedin's city centre.
Port Chalmers is home to a thriving creative arts community with many charming shops and cafes. Originally a fishing port, Port Chalmers has it's own unique character, but now containers ships and cruise ships dominate the Otago harbour.
Much of Port Chalmers is located on a small hilly peninsula, at the northern end of which is a large reclaimed area which is now the site of Dunedin's container port. Close to the southeastern shore of this peninsula are a pair of islands, Quarantine Island and Goat Island, which lie across the harbour between Port Chalmers and the Otago Peninsula.
