The castle is really a big Victorian house in lovely grounds and gardens which I would recommend for a one or 2 day stay only. It is a long, long way out of Dunedin and the winding narrow roads are probably not recommended after dark unless you are a local as the terrain is very steep and so far out... more

We stayed at Larnach for 2 nights, in the "New Zealand" room. The room was well appointed and the bed comfortable. There was an extra single bed in the room which could accommodate a child. The views from the balcony were stunning. The bathroom was well appointed and as a previous reviewer pointed out, the shower was a curtained off... more

Had 1 night here and wish we had had time for more. Based on the Otago Peninsula, 30 minutes from Dunedin, the only castle in New Zealand - absolutely outstanding. Rooms are all themed and have exceptional views over the peninsula. Rooms are in the annex (old stables area) are are very spacious, clean and inviting.We ate in the Castle... more

Booked this accommodation direct before leaving the UK. Web site made it sound perfect and I have to say the room was lovely - I picked Katies room - a lot of them were very highly themed and just did not appeal to us, although I know there are a lot of people out there who would find them great... more

We stayed two nights in the Lodge. We stayed in the "Sea Room" which was a very cosy corner room with a nautical theme and a double bed and a single bed. The view from this room of the surrounding hills and water was incredible. The room had a wrap-around balcony that invited you to sit and gaze out over... more

The Location: Approximately 30 minutes drive from central Dunedin. There are 3 roads which provide access to the castle... try to take the only one which is not a single lane, hair-pin infested goat track (even though these 2 roads are quite picturesque) - check with the tourist information centre in Dunedin. Otherwise there are signs to Larnach Castle along... more

An excellent place to stay in NZ for a special treat and unique atmosphere! The Otago Peninsula is stunningly beautiful and though the castle makes no pretence of being a true castle in the English sense of the word, it is a wonderful building with a fascinating history and both the castle and grounds have been lovingly restored by the... more

Stayed here in June 2003. Had a great time. The views are spectacular, and it's a great base for sightseeing on the peninsula. The Penguin and albatross colonies are just minutes away. The lodge is basic accommodations. The headroom can be a little dodgy. If you've got the cash, get the castle rooms, but for budget travellers this is a... more
