I won't be the first to say "this is a cave of wonders" but it most emphatically is. The guides were also excellent, very informative without drowning you in detail

Interesting gallery. Staff happy to chat. Collections that you' did not know existed. No buying pressure. Really nice place.

Walked very long and came all the way to Adelaide searching for something that is actually interesting only to get turned down when on the brochure it said that you could go into the exhibition but then the staff turned us around. The older lady was quite rude whereas the younger one was nicer but they should fix their brochure.

Lovely gallery space featuring interesting and engaging exhibits. The only downside was that they didn't advertise the exhibit entrance fee on visible signage outside so it was a bit of a surprise when we went to enter

A great place to visit, filled with wondrous antiquities, artworks and cultural/historical wonder.

Amazing collection. Pity you don't get the chance to enjoy the whole collection as you are directed through the rooms with info only on the items that the tour host is interested in. Would be a greater experience if you had the ability to look without the pressure of being on a tour.

This place is just unbelievable… it’s a private collection of a wonderful wonderful man who loved specific era’s and brought the best of their kind …. Amazing guide who brought it all to life

This Musuem was named after a Dog Judge who was a member of Dogs-SA at Kilburn for many years and was a judge at one of our Dog Shows. He was famous for his comments about certain Dog breeds. We as Dog owners and handlers will miss his funny comments about dog breeds in Australia and South Australia too. His Foundation Museum is huge with his collection of canine books, figurines and other items. Well worth seeing and visiting this place. It is a must to book ahead via his website.

Really wanted to visit this treasure of yesterday but unfortunately that is where their booking technology is back in the 20th Century. Got all the way through the booking process including PayPal and it wouldn't progress to finalise booking. Very Disappointing.

Totally fascinating. It probably needs many visits to absorb the collections but the guides provide wonderful insights into the highlights and their history and willingly answer questions. Potentially overwhelming so be prepared to focus on features of special interest as you go round. The Gallery provides a splendid exhibition space and the whole Museum is beautifully presented. A unique Adelaide experience.

Well presented exhibit altho better lighting to read the cards describing the scenes would have made it a great experience.

What an amazing place to visit. We are are so lucky in Adelaide to have this magnificent house to visit. Spent 2 hours there and needed more time. Will definitely be returning for another visit. The antiques are breath taking. Bookings essential and very reasonably priced

Well worth booking a tour with guides who knew David Roche. You could travel to many museums and galleries internationally to see comparable items but here is this amazing collection of 1000s of items right here in North Adelaide. Travel at home instead!

Adelaide's hidden treasure of artefacts from a wonderful collection by David Roche. Needs to be seen to appreciate the beauty.

Fantastic museum. A well kept secret of Adelaide. Great exhibition of military made quilts there at present. Some over 200years old!
