HISTORIC POISE<br />
St Clair Pool is an outdoor hot salt<br />
water pool built on a beautiful site at<br />
the southern end of St Clair beach. Its<br />
wonderful location on the beachfront<br />
makes it a highly pleasurable<br />
swimming experience.<br />
It is particularly suitable<br />
for those who love<br />
swimming in salt<br />
water, but may not<br />
wish to venture into<br />
the brisk ocean<br />
water. The pool is<br />
heated to 28 degrees<br />
Celsius and is a mixture<br />
of salt and chlorinated<br />
water.<br />
With a paddling pool for<br />
toddlers, lane swimming, aqua<br />
jogging and a café, St Clair hot salt<br />
water pool is the ideal place to visit<br />
with your family this summer. St Clair<br />
Pool opens for the summer season<br />

A ‘must visit’ for lovers of arts and<br />
culture; Olveston offers a unique<br />
glimpse into the extraordinary<br />
lives of one of Dunedin prominent<br />
Edwardian families.<br />
Olveston was the home of<br />
businessman, collector and<br />
philanthropist David<br />
Theomin. Designed by<br />
the English architect,<br />
Sir Ernest George,<br />
Olveston was built<br />
with every modern<br />
convenience<br />
including central<br />
heating, a gas<br />
generator for electricity,<br />
a shower in each<br />
bathroom and heated towel<br />
rails, an internal telephone system<br />
and service lift. The house was<br />
also lavishly furnished with exotic<br />
artefacts, prized artworks, antiques,<br />
carpets, ceramics, statues and<br />
weaponry purchased from around<br />
the world.<br />
Olveston was inherited by the<br />
Theomin’s daughter Dorothy in 1933.<br />
Continuing the family tradition of<br />
philanthropy, Dorothy supported<br />
many of the artistic and community<br />
causes championed by her parents<br />
including Dunedin Public Art Gallery<br />
and the Plunket Society.<br />
Following Dorothy’s death in 1966,<br />
it was discovered that Olveston,<br />
complete with the original contents,<br />
was gifted to the people of Dunedin.<br />
Visiting Olveston is by guided<br />
tour only; guided tours reveal the<br />
extraordinary lives of the Theomin<br />
family and allow a glimpse of<br />
Dunedin’s rich business,<br />
artistic and social history<br />
from the mid-1800s until<br />
the 1960s.<br />
Set within a 1-acre<br />
‘Garden of National<br />
Significance’, at 42<br />
Royal Terrace, Olveston<br />
is within walking distance<br />
from the Octagon.<br />
Olveston is a time capsule, as<br />
little has changed inside the house<br />
since it was occupied as a family<br />
home. A feast for the eyes, a tour of<br />
Olveston is for those who appreciate<br />
(or aspire to) the finer things in life.<br />
Guided tours commence daily at<br />
9.30am, 10.45am, 12noon, 1.30pm,<br />
2.45pm and 4pm. For details of<br />
other activities and events held at<br />
the house throughout the year, visit<br />
www.olveston.co.nz.<br />
Street parking around Olveston is<br />
limited, 2-hr visitor parking permits<br />
available from reception upon<br />
arrival, which can be used on P30<br />
and P90 parking areas.<br />
