The exterior and gardens are are beautiful, but as mentioned the house looks out of place next to a cinema complex, shopping centre and the Interstate!

I was disappointed that nothing was made of the ghostly side of things - I heard about the house on a ghost show on TV and thought there would be stories of ghostly goings on, but it was a pretty basic tour - this is this, that is that etc. Seeing inside the rooms that were abandoned after the 1906 earthquake was interesting too.

Which meant it was mostly other pieces that they acquired from the times to furnish the house. Winchester's because she willed it away to her niece. Secondly, mostly 95% of the furniture that was in the house was not Mrs. You could tell that they memorize a script and were tired of telling it over and over. First of all, the tour guides where very robotic and mechanical. ![]() We found $2 off coupons on the net which was definitely not enough of a discount to ask me to recommend this place to any of my traveling friends.
