My wife and I stayed at Larnach Castle in October 2009, in one of the Lodge Balcony rooms. These are themed rooms, and we enjoyed our stay. The tour of the castle is amazing and included in the price of the accommodation, as is breakfast. We stayed in the "Kate" Room but there are several others to choose from. If... more

The rooms here are nothing to write home about and probably ready for an update but the location is stunning. Views across the water and the gardens and castle are exciting to visit.Worth a once in a lifetime visit perhaps. WiFi in rooms would be a big plus as guest computer is inadequate. Breakfast was ordinary and mostly 'bought in'... more

We enjoyed our stay but were blown away by the views from our room and the spectacular gardens. The room was adequate if a little tired and the breakfast was nothing special - lots of sachets of plastic jam and margarine. Staff were all friendly and helpful. more

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Larnach Castle Lodge. Unfortunately the weather was wet and gloomy so we could hardly see the harbour from our room. The room was small, well appointed and cozy. The highlight of our stay at Lanarch Lodge was dinner in the Castle - exceptional food combined with informative commentary about the history of the castle... more

Stablestay is good value, as you still get a tour of the castle included, and a cooked breakfast downstairs in the morning. Share bathroom is OK - lots of showers. more

Being able to stay on the grounds of this amazing place was excellent. We stayed in the economy rooms above the stable; hostel style with community bathrooms, separate shower rooms. The rooms were roomy but a little odd, not the most comfortable...but getting a private code to enter the castle gates when you arrive and having private access to the... more

We stayed in Larnach Lodge and we were in a room on the second floor. We had a great view of the bay. The room was average sized. Breakfast was OK, not as good as many we had on our trip. There were two big benefits to staying here. First, a tour of the castle was included in the stay.... more

We also stayed at the stables, as it was too expensive to stay at the castle.. We found the room to be sub- standard as it had a very 70's look about it but we found the breakfast to be very good.. You can't really complain when the accommodation is $130 which includes breakfast and tour of the castle.. The... more

My wife was thrilled about staying in a castle while in NZ. Unfortunately the budget meant we were staying in the stables. Breakfast was sub-par even by NZ standards-of course we were in the stable. The grounds were nicely groomed and the view of otago pen. and the city of Dunedin from the roof of the "castle" are unbeatable. I'd... more
