Loved our stay here in the converted stable. We didn't intend to attend the evening dinner, so glad we did, had a great time with 20 other guests. Would recommend this to anyone.

Our entire experience was faultless. The staff were friendly, welcoming and efficient. Our room was comfortable and elegant with stunning views (once the mist lifted in the morning. The dining experience was fabulous. The only thing that might have improved it would have been to have the drinks reception in a reception room so guests could have mingled. The next morning it was a joy to stroll around the beautiful grounds. I would totally recommend the hotel and the dining experience.

Great place!

Just fantastic! Staff were great. The location perfect. Breakfast very tasty. The only bad part was there was a wedding and at 1230am all of the others staying in the stables showed up drunk and without thinking there were other guests. After 30 minutes of hearing all the stupid stuff they were talking about, I finally went out and gracefully told them there were other guests staying there. They finally shut up.

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.

Feel like royalty when you set foot into the room. The only downside is the deck and lounger need to be updated. The breakfast at Stable set the vibe for us. The staff here is very attentive and helpful.

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

The property is quite unique with fabulous views and beautiful gardens. The accommodations are a bit worn and the staff was very friendly. The breakfast buffet was OK however the selection was limited. Many times items ran out and one needed to ask for replenishment.

A great experience overall. Very atmospheric property with beautiful gardens (and bird life!) Only recommendation would be to change the double bed in room 27 which is a serious sagger. Otherwise, the room was tastefully decorated to fit the late Victorian vibe.

We stayed in Room 26 and the views were some of the best we have encountered anywhere in the world. We even had a view from the loo! Staff were friendly and very helpful. The Barker family has done an excellent job restoring the Castle and providing employment in the area. We would definitely stay again.

What an incredible experience, we're so happy we booked in to stay at Larnach. The grounds are beautiful and it really is a labour of love the way that the family who own the property have restored it over decades. It's definitely worth the experience, and what a beautiful location on the peninsula. We are so grateful to the staff who looked after us during the Dunedin floods - thank you!!

Lodge consisted of rooms in converted stable or separate lodge. Our room had incredible views. Room was charming and we opted for the dinner at the castle which was super fun and excellent. The host is incredible and she makes the dining experience a joy and interesting. She gave a quick tour and her entertaining stories about the castle were fun! You also get free entry into the lovely castle in the morning to explore more and the gardens were beautiful. Breakfast in the stable was excellent
