Larnach Lodge

We stayed in Room 26 and the views were some of the best we have encountered anywhere in the world. We even had a view from the loo! Staff were friendly and very helpful. The Barker family has done an excellent job restoring the Castle and providing employment in the area. We would definitely stay again.

What an incredible experience, we're so happy we booked in to stay at Larnach. The grounds are beautiful and it really is a labour of love the way that the family who own the property have restored it over decades. It's definitely worth the experience, and what a beautiful location on the peninsula. We are so grateful to the staff who looked after us during the Dunedin floods - thank you!!

We Had an Excellent stay the Dining was Excellent. A must do stay.

Lodge consisted of rooms in converted stable or separate lodge. Our room had incredible views. Room was charming and we opted for the dinner at the castle which was super fun and excellent. The host is incredible and she makes the dining experience a joy and interesting. She gave a quick tour and her entertaining stories about the castle were fun! You also get free entry into the lovely castle in the morning to explore more and the gardens were beautiful. Breakfast in the stable was excellent

We stayed in the lodge on the castle grounds. We checked in around 6pm, so the castle was closed, but we were allowed to tour the grounds, which were beautiful. Our room was nice. We had a wonderful breakfast in the morning, with a nice cold buffet and our choice of a hot meal. We got to tour the house before the crowds came (two buses pulled up as we were leaving). It was a lovely stay.

The amazing breakfast was worth the stay alone!! great way to spend a night in Dunedin, learn some History and having the tour included in the accommodation a great bonus

This is a wonderful step back in time with a beautifully modernised bathroom. (Shower was incredible, plus floor was heated!!) We loved our stay, and found the dinner to be an entertaining and delicious experience. Highly recommend this for romantics and history buffs.

To stay in the grounds of a 'castle' was fabulous. Views from the room outstanding. Sitting on the deck awesome. Whole experience and the quality of the room fantastic. So all in quite brilliant. Highly recommend staying.

Amazing. We had en-suite queen rooms, which were clean, comfortable and beautifully and individually decorated. Tea and coffee maker and a small fridge were appreciated. The views were stunning and we loved sitting on the balcony listening to the birds. Breakfast was excellent. We spent a lovely morning wandering the gardens.

Absolutely beautiful place with fantastic staff
