Larnach Lodge was pretty cool. We ended up meeting some amazing people who worked there as well as other guests by attending a dinner in the castle. It was a great stay

The Larnach Castle Lodge is just behind the main castle. The Lodge rooms have beautiful views over the Otaga Peninsula and coast. And Larnach Castle and its grounds are fantastic, and available free of charge for Lodge guests.

What an amazing place to stay. Larnarch Castle is beautiful all around. If you have a chance to stay there he night- you’ll mainly have the grounds to yourself when all the tourist have left. The dinner inside the castle and the breakfast inside the old horse stable were a nice treat. Loved our stay and the views are incredible.

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.

Spent one wonderful night at Larnach Lodge while in Dunedin. While it’s a little far from town it makes up for it with its unique and picturesque setting. The room had a historic feel but also modernly equipped. Breakfast was delicious and being able to tour the castle afterwards before the public entered was a bonus.

Do not book here unless you are okay driving up turny narrow roads with no guardrail. It is terrifying. Also there is very little parking around the lodge and stables. The view from our room was incredible...it was the best thing about our stay.

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
