Gorgeous castle and grounds. The gardens were exquisite. The castle itself is furnished opulently and the renovations are majestic!

The sort of castle you could live in, rooms not too large, and fabulous gardens. We had a guided tour which, although full of interesting facts and history, prevented us from exploring by ourselves and taking in the views to a full extent. It's easy to catch up on all this online these days and spend precious time outside if the weather is good. There is an excellent cafe but we didn't have time to sample the produce.

Such an unusual find in New Zealand. The castle has been beautifully restored. The gardens are beautiful. Lovely tea shop we had mushroom soup and crusty bread 🤤

We did the castle and garden tour. The castle is on 4 floors, has an intro video, and then on to the tour. The map is helpful. Also steps up to the roof turret for fantastic views To enter the castle you ring the front bell and are greeted, with info for tour We then toured the gardens which were nice. There mid April weekday and not crowded at all. A nice visit

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience exploring the Castle. I am a South Otago girl, and had been to Larnach Castle many times over the years, but never inside. Loved it! Well worth the time and money to visit. Great restoration so far, and I am pleased that my entry fee goes towards further restoration of this beautiful Otago landmark.

It was worth the visit. The gardens layout combined with small sections of gardens but also had large areas of grass bordered by various sizes of garden bed. Colourful flowers were plenty. Amazing grounds for a wedding as there was one going to take place when I was there. The castle was magnificent. The decor had beautiful crafted pieces of furniture, the ceiling roses I not seen anything like it and there was wood paneling everywhere. The renovated castle shows a love for something old. Some great vies of the scenery and of Dunedin can be seen from some vantage points My visit was about an hour and a half.
