Situated within the grounds of the impressive Larnach Castle, surrounded by stunning gardens, you'll find Larnach Lodge and Stables stay.

Larnach Lodge offers individually-decorated rooms, with ensuite bathrooms and panoramic views of Otago harbour and the Otago Peninsula. The Stables stay is our budget-friendly option in our original historic Stables building. These rooms have shared bathroom facilities. The breakfast exceeded our expectations. The staff were professional and caring. The rooms were part of refurbished stables and in keeping with the period. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable. A very pleasantly unique experience. The 4 course dinner in the castle was relaxed and delicious. A great experience

A fridge and toaster are also featured, as well as a kettle. The location a little bit outside of the town was so quiet and so beautiful. The house is surrounded by a 360 view of the mountains. When you open the curtains in the morning or sitting outside on your own terras you see the best the world has to offer right at your doorstep. The accommodation feels bright new and everything is in so clean and good quality materials are used. The bed is wonderfull! The fridge is filled with delicious things to have breakfast in your own bubble on the terrace. After just two days of hiking, a bit of shopping and going to the hot springs we felt so relaxt. I think this was one of our best stays during our trip through New Zealand.
