No wonder Robert Louis Stevenson lived here for four years, who wouldn't? An informative tour guide told us all the stories and serenaded us in English and Samoan. Special!

Seems expensive at 15Tala. The guided tour stopped after about 30 seconds. I feel there was a lot more the guide could have pointed out to us. Short walk to little waterfall and pool which would have been a lovely private swimming hole for the Stevenson Family.
This museum is set among lovely gardens and rain forests and very refreshing to visit after spending some time in hot & busy Apia. The museum includes some of his original books and belongings and you are free to wander around in your own time. The guide available was very friendly, has a great knowledge of the museum and speaks...

Spectacular Victorian villa in a magic setting. Colonial history at its best. Superb guides. Fascinating insight into a great author and his remarkable family.
The Museum is very well kept. Pity that the trails to the tomb are still not easily accessible. The guides are quite prepared, what could be added is a longer story on RLS life at the beginning of the museum
Museum is really wearth visiting, but the climb up to the grave is blocked by fallen trees, please inform if the road is cleared
Beautiful home in lovely surroundings very well maintained. Cost of entry surprising, more than I would have expected. Curator overly friendly.
Interesting to see - if you have spare time. Most of the rooms seemed to be filled with items that "might have been" a likeness from the period. It was a shame that the 2 walking tracks were unpassable (in Feb13) due to recent cyclone damage, but that nothing obvious seemed to be being done yet, to reopen them.
Nice museum, very good restoration works, good explanation by friendly staff with much knowlegde about the subject, good location and very nice garden! Next to the museum there are also interesting botanical gardens, but they could have provide some more explanation on it (e.g. notice with readable name of plant/tree).
The homestead of R.L.S and his extended family is a really interesting stop on your way to Apia, and a great place if you love history, literature or grand sights. The organisers have the place nicely kept and give you a lot of information about the place.
However, I would have really enjoyed learning about what happened to the homestead...
