Unique and memorable stay
Amazing. We had en-suite queen rooms, which were clean, comfortable and beautifully and individually decorated. Tea and coffee maker and a small fridge were appreciated. The views were stunning and we loved sitting on the balcony listening to the birds. Breakfast was excellent. We spent a lovely morning wandering the gardens.

We had a lovely few days at Larnach Lodge. While the accommodation in the stables at first seemed quite basic it was all we needed and we were very comfortable. The setting with the gardens and the views was beautiful and so interesting. The included breakfast was great and I can highly recommend signing up for the 4 course dinner in the castle- it was incredible food and such a fun and memorable experience.

An outstanding location and facilities. some elements were superb, others due a refresh. Overall loved the experience and would wholeheartedly recommend. Dinner was delightful in the Castle dining room with lovely flavours. Service was "quirky" if a little slapdash which detracted from the chef's presentation. Castle tour and gardens were fascinsting and a great tribute to the owners and staff alike.

Beautiful gardens and gorgeous castle. The details in the creation and restoration are a labor of love. Hot breakfast and entrance to the castle and gardens was all part of the price, making this stay worth every penny. We stayed in the stables. Accommodations were ample for three adults. Excellent Wi-Fi. We needed to get some work done and were able to complete it without any problems. All in all, would recommend 10/10.

Characterful and great value
Great value and full of character. Lots of space albeit reduced head space! Fantastic and generous breakfast. There was no mention of whether they recycled some waste materials, which was a shame. The shared bathroom facilities were clean and lots of hot water. Brilliant to have access to the house and gardens

We have absolutely adored the whole stay over, group dinner, breakfast in the stables and explore the castle and gardens experience. But what made the standout was the attention to detail. From the choice toiletries, little fun things in the room to the careful seating choices and meals with the chefs dinner, would like to meet the chef next time so we could compliment them! The patience of the staff and the effort to go the extra mile. Breakfast, I went to toast a piece of bread and was offered more fresh scrambled eggs as the ones I left at my table could have become a little cold ( I was ok). Will plot to come back. Well done team.

Amazing stay
Our room in the lodge was spacious and decorated beautifully. The view from our window over the Otago peninsula was spectacular and the sounds of the birds was beautiful. There was a delicious spread at breakfast in the stables. The dinner in the castle was delicious! We were all seated together at a long table and we were chatting to the other guests. Service was excellent and we got a wee guided tour afterwords.
