As two people who don’t drink much beer we absolutely loved this tour and recommend it to anyone and everyone. The tour itself was very informative and interesting and the tour guide was amazing! The tasters at the end were great and we got a great explanation about what we were actually tasting.

So accommodating and very nice and helpful staff!! The kids had a great time and so worth the money 🙂

Girls had an amazing time, thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I'm actually considering joining them as members to take advantage of the Sunday members night deal. Definitely recommended

We thoroughly enjoyed this activity. The history and restoration or rather ongoing restoration is truly incredible. The gardens are spectacular!! The view from the tower is a must see.

Well maintained gardens and grounds in Picture perfect surroundings. Time well spent and highly recommended to all visitors of Dunedin.

It was such a pleasant place to visit. The hardens were lovely. The castle was just amazing and reading the history tied the whole place together. The view from the turret was mind blowing. Will go back again next time we are in Dunedin.

Nice overcast still day, moody and a nice day to have day 1 in Dunedin exploring Lanarch Castle. Lovely grounds, such a talented castle built, been so looked after and a good history lesson learnt. A few steps walked today.

Stunning castle and grounds. Jaw dropping views and fascinating story and history of the Lanarch family and the restoration over the last 50 years

Highly recommended lovely gardens beautiful scenery the castle is amazing they are doing a great job of preserving it

The grounds, gardens, views, and Larnach Castle are beautiful. It's a great way to spend the whole day or just a few hours. You can take your own picnic or eat at the cafe which is really reasonably priced. The staff are a great asset too friendly and helpful. And I have to say I enjoyed looking for the Alice in Wonderland characters too. :)

Worth the drive up the hillside to see the splendor of the Grand castle

Beautiful castle/stately home, with interesting history. We visited on a really stunning day and it looked so lovely in the sunshine. Beautiful gardens to explore too. Can understand wanting to keep them immaculate but such a shame you can't bring your dog to wander through the gardens too.

Loved it!! Amazed at a home (castle) so beautiful was built so long ago here in NZ. The history was also very interesting. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful grounds, house and views. Excellent value for money.

Really nie views but rainning for the whole day. That is really a shame without watching the gardens inside

A very special place, well worth a visit. The gardens are great but the castle is something else.

Fantastic! Great restored building with amazing details and furniture from the past. Highly recommended.

Being from England I was a little skeptical going to visit a "castle" in New Zealand. However I'm so glad I did! It's a lovely place which has been really well restored and lovingly looked after. The climb to the top of the turrets is fun and the views once at the top across the Otago Peninsula are stunning. The cafe in the ballroom is lovely, whether sitting inside or outside, and the food was good too (we had a small salad, some chips and a scone with jam and cream, all of which were yummy! I can imagine the high tea here would be very nice.) The gardens were beautiful and it was very pleasant wandering around them. We walked past the stables which have now been converted to accommodations and I would seriously consider coming back to stay for a night. The staff were all very friendly too. Would definitely recommend a visit here :-)

The family who own the only Castle in New Zealand have really preserved it to the correct period in history. Just amazing and beautiful architecture! It was raining at the time of our visit and probably would of enjoyed the grounds better if it were sunny.

Very cool place. The view from the tower is amazing. Would have been an interesting place to live in.

We had previously been to Larnach Castle and the weather was foggy so we couldn't see the view and it doesn't disappoint , So an absolute must do when in Dunedin.

Had a great visit here on a sunny autumn day the whole experience from gardens castle and tea in the outside cafe area was great.We thoroughly enjoyed are time there all the staff were hospitable and friendly.

Seamless check in with Bookme, the Larnach Castle team already had my name at the gate. The castle is so beautiful, it is clear this is a labour of love for the family that is restoring it! We last visited 16 years ago on our honeymoon, and since then they have opened more rooms for exploring in the castle, and added a clue hunt for kids to keep them engaged and learning about the history of the castle. We spent half our day here and a couple of hours exploring Tunnel Beach which is a 20min drive away - a perfect day!

Lovely to see the only castle of New Zealand. Fantastic grounds with beautiful surroundings. Friendly staff good facility to give visitors a good understanding of the castle and history. Thank you very much Larnach Castle team:)

We were the first to arrive as we had limited time and given a warm welcome, clear directions, then enjoyed informative displays and a video, before rambling through the castle. The views over the peninsula from the tower were beautiful, made more special because we had walked and driven over that area in preceding days. A coffee in the ballroom beside the open fireplace, prepared us for a quick ramble in the garden and our car trip back north.

While traveling the south island, this has to be kne of my highlights! If you have any appreciation for history or castles or just want to see something truly beautiful then this is it. Well worth the money I would absolutely visit again!!

Despite the rain, we had a great time looking inside and outside the castle. At first we thought it’d be a fairly quick affair, and gave ourselves (2 couples), an hour to do the inside and outside. That was quickly extended after we started to allow us more time to look through the gardens. A really nice way to spend a few hours. I’d recommend taking the toad along the water rather than the very narrow inland one. Views are again amazing and you’ll go past a memorial for soldiers which has Panasonic views over Dunedin from the top.

A big thanks to the owners for preserving this part of Dunedin history for public. It's a good place to visit at any season.

Totally must do to anyone visiting Dunedin. The castle, it’s manicured gardens and stunning views over the coastline.

great

Beautiful building, excellent narrative of history

Worth the visit a lovely 200 year old castle. Amazing how it was built and the history. Lovely gardens liked the idea of staying onsite have to try that next time. Some areas still to be renovated.
