Story

Larnach Castle, is een imposant herenhuis op het schiereiland Otago Peninsula op het Zuidereiland in Nieuw-Zeeland. Het ligt dicht bij Pukehiki.Het werd gebouwd tussen 1873 en 1887 als de residentie van William Larnach, een vooraanstaand ondernemer en politicus in het koloniale Nieuw-Zeeland. De architect was R.A. Lawson, die ook verantwoordelijk is voor vele andere gebouwen in Dunedin. Het huis heeft 43 kamers en een balzaal en had een staf van 46 personeelsleden. De balzaal werd gebouwd als 21e verjaardagscadeau voor Larnachs dochter Kate in 1886. Na een reeks van persoonlijke en financiële tegenslagen pleegde hij zelfmoord in oktober 1898. Het huis raakte in verval en werd in 1967 gekocht door Barry en Margaret Barker, die het herstelden. Larnach Castle biedt een spectaculair uitzicht over Otago Peninsula en Otagi Harbour en is 10 kilometer van het stadscentrum. Het huis is regelmatig open voor het publiek.Externe links Larnach Castle

Beautiful gardens. If you are interested in history and botanical gardens then this is for you. Unique place. We stayed the night in the stable lodging and it was comfortable. We added the castle dinner to our stay and it was well worth it. Lovely dinner and private lecture. Breakfast was just ok. All in all we enjoyed it and would recommend.
Loved this castle which is more like a stately home. Beautifully renovated , grounds are amazing with outstanding views. We stayed overnight in the stables. Shared toilets and showers. Breakfast included served downstairs, good choices for continental with full breakfast available no extra charge. Room was spacious with low ceilings, very authentic. Dinner in the original dining room was very nice, well cooked and beautifully presented. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it.
After a bit of a drive up the mountains you find this beautiful estate. As a builder I was impressed with the detailed use of locally sourced timber for the construction. The garden impresses everyone and make sure you leave to have afternoon tea in the dining room. Fun to visit.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
A great trip and well worth the effort to get to the castle. I thought the price a little expensive as the castle itself is not big. But the views from the turret are amazing. We ate in the cafe and the food was goodVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Came here on my last trip to Dunedin and did not disappoint. From the well kept Gardens and grounds to the actual Castle itself I was in awe of how well they have restored this building. With plenty of information around you can get a real insight to how the original owners lived their day to day lives. If exploring Dunedin this is a must!
Larnach Castle in Dunedin is an absolute gem worth exploring. Make sure not to miss the charming gardens - take a stroll and admire the stunning views of Otago Harbour along with the quirky sculptures and hidden treasures. Although the castle itself may be compact, it's beautifully preserved, offering a glimpse into Victorian-era living. It's an affordable and enriching experience, perfect for immersing yourself in history and educating children. Plus, there's a touch of creepiness to it all, adding an extra layer to the adventure!
We come from the land of castles, have visited quite a few, and didn't expect a great deal, however I ended up impressed, despite myself. Some really interesting gardens, a rich man's folly, with a sad family history, and an impressive tale of restoration and hunting down historical items to return them to the castle, made for a fascinating story. I like wooden panelling and there was that in abundance. There was also a bit more of a relaxed feeling and trusting of guests than I am used to in historic homes, which felt good. So why only 4 stars? The main issue was price. You can get into Edinburgh Castle, which can take a whole day, with the one o'clock gun, the honours of Scotland, several museums and hundreds of years of history for around £16 or 32 dollars. That makes 45 dollars for here look steep. Nevertheless it was an enjoyable visit, with a good explanation of the history, and I managed to get quite a few photos without people in them, which is often my intention.
Deservedly popular and well worth the effort to visit the house and gardens. The owners have fine to a lot of trouble to be informative and inclusive. They have privately fractured an historic building and visitors supporting them are nicely thanked.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo wait
Absolutely amazing, If you do go, make sure you have plenty of time to explore and soak up the history. The staff are wonderful and the food is perfect. And the grounds are extremely well kept. The history is intriguing The admission fee is surprisingly reasonable, and the drive there gives you wonderful views of the bay.
Stayed in the stables rooms. Shared bathroom and showers. A bit noisy at when other guests were showering. Breakfast was a feast, with full cooked breakfast , or pancakes, and continental buffet. We had dinner at the castle, which must be booked in advance. Four course menu served in one of the rooms in the castle. Lovely atmosphere and excellent food.
