Unexpected Surprise
The environment was very pleasant and the castle was lovely. However, what we didn't realize was that we had to share showers and bathrooms with up to 7 other units, so that meant leaving the room at night to go to the restroom, and taking a shower and rushing back to your room; overall very unpleasant.

Lovely stay!
Loved staying here! Waking up with a view of the entire city of Dunedin was incredible. The stay included breakfast in the morning (which was delicious) as well as entry into the castle and gardens. In addition, the staff was incredible and even stayed late for us to check-in after a flight delay. Would highly recommend

Breathtaking Views of Nature on a Solid Foundation
Very impressive entrance. The whole castle vibe starts at the entrance iron gates and the sentry box. Narrow country laneway winds around the castle to the Lodge accommodation passing car parks and gardens. Be mindful of buses and cars coming the other way. Met by reception as we tried to locate a car park space near the Lodge. Low key reception check in space. Friendly reception manager provided all the information we needed to know accompanied with a map and the information that had been spoken in print, then showed us to our room. First impact, the outstanding natural imagery outside the large window. Period style furnishings and modern bathroom with heated flooring (love the tartan wallpaper, on top half of wall, adds to the overall effect) Dined in the castle with a guided tour after our meal. A very special experience.

Great place!
Just fantastic! Staff were great. The location perfect. Breakfast very tasty. The only bad part was there was a wedding and at 1230am all of the others staying in the stables showed up drunk and without thinking there were other guests. After 30 minutes of hearing all the stupid stuff they were talking about, I finally went out and gracefully told them there were other guests staying there. They finally shut up.

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!!

Amazing experience!
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.

The property is quite unique with fabulous views and beautiful gardens. The accommodations are a bit worn and the staff was very friendly. The breakfast buffet was OK however the selection was limited. Many times items ran out and one needed to ask for replenishment.

A great experience overall. Very atmospheric property with beautiful gardens (and bird life!)
Only recommendation would be to change the double bed in room 27 which is a serious sagger. Otherwise, the room was tastefully decorated to fit the late Victorian vibe.
