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.

Very relaxed and informative tour followed by great tasting beers. Lovely setting for drinks and food

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

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

Brilliant. Lots of fun challenges, an activity the family can do together. Great guide Dave, who took us on an amazing adventure despite the weather.

Such a fantastic way to see another part of NZ's South Island magnificent scenery

I went this with whole of my family. My parents, me, wife, two little girls and my nephew. We had really good time. Highly recommended

Can get chilly in winter even with airconditioning onboard, so wrap up warm if you're going in the colder months. I went on a beautiful day and got some interesting and entertaining commentary, there's food onboard too- wouldn't hurt the lady serving to smile a bit perhaps (of the ole' battle-axe variety) but was yum and reasonably priced. Recommend as a way to see the beautiful countryside, looked a bit boring for kids though.

Great trip very informative commentary. Spectacular scenery

We were lucky with the weather so we were able to stand on the viewing platforms which I think makes for a good experience and better photo opportunities.

It was a beautifully sunny day to experience the train trip from Dunedin to Pukerangi and we were seated in one of the older carriages. There were fewer passengers than expected on the afternoon journey, but this was perfect for obtaining spectacular views from the decks at the rear of the carriage. The commentary was informative but the jokes were painfully lame. Highly recommended.

We did the 4 hour return trip on a sunny Saturday in late August. There were beautiful vistas throughout the journey. We were seated in one of the lovely old carriages which added to the experience. The viaducts, bridges & tunnels were amazing engineering features. The Dunedin railway station is a beautiful building. All the staff we encountered were friendly & helpful. We would definitely recommend this train trip.

Stunning scenery - friendly staff and informative commentary - we loved it

We have been meaning to go on this trip for a while. So to celebrate a year here in New Zealand we decided this was how we would mark the occasion and it was a great day. Dunedin Railway Station is a glorious starting point, beautiful architecture and friendly staff. The train journey itself took you through some very scenic and varied countryside and there was informative commentary along the way. A relaxing way to spend the afternoon.

Beautiful day with plenty to see. The staff were amazing and the commentery along the journey was fabulous.

Classical Renaissance train compartment Magnificant scenic passage Goes between eye catching rural view and over bridges Highly recommended trip Suggestion Please include more information and talk about the history of this railway.

What a great afternoon exploring the gorge by train. Comfortable seating with just the right amount of commentary. The scenery is beautiful and changing all the time. We travelled with a three yr old who slept on the way up.

The railway trails is definitely a must do in Dunedin and highly recommended for railway's fans. The duration is about 4 hrs return from Pukerangi by passing Wingatui Viaduct which is the largest iron structure. The journey was amazing and memorable. Get some local best beer or wine from the cafe on board and enjoy your journey!

That’s so nice and very good service staff.

Wonderful afternoon. Very attentive staff and great commentary. Beautifully restored engines and carriages. Spectacular rock formations and scenery. Highly 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.

Our group was 16-60 years old and all had a great time! No manufacturing info but lots of history and fun facts about chocolate.

Amazing!

Enjoyed our day @ the Castle and the day was clear with brillant sunshine and no fog so views wonderful. However we would not have gone if it was not for the us been able 2 access a cheaper entry to both castle and grounds with a book one voucher. The normal fees r far 2 much especially if u r on a pension and trying 2 make ends meet. The house & gardens are lovely and so much more developed since we saw them 43yrs ago as a young couple.and it was great that we were able 2 walk our two older border collies in the gardens as we explored.

Beautiful place and scenery and interesting history.

Really cool visiting this castle/mansion. Gardens are beautiful. Go early. Miss the cruise ships & grab the early bird special $20 entry :)

Excellent experience. Lovely gardens and the tour guide was great explaining the history of Larnach Castle.

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

We visited on a miserable day but were pleasantly surprised how warm it was inside . We didn't find out until later that you can pay a little extra to get an audio tour which we will definitely purchase for on our next visit. Our 11 yr olds and a 14 yr old also loved it too . Because we saved money by purchasing on bookme we spent our saving and more in the cafe , it feels like the least we could do in these tough times . The food too was top notch . We will definitely return again in the summer , can't wait to see the gardens on a nice day . The hubby was not at all keen to visit but now planning our next trip, he is telling everyone how much he enjoyed it .

So professional and also easy going. Dave got us all "up to speed" with humour and patience. The tour was informative and fun. This is a must do experience in Dunedin! Thank you.

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.

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.

great

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