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. If you can budget for the stay, it was well worth it! The staff were amazing, the grounds were beautiful, breakfast was delicious, rooms were comfortable with everything you need and more! It was a truly wonderful experience for my whole family, and we would recommend this to anyone traveling on holiday to Dunedin.

Featuring a garden, Hanmer Springs Gateway Lodge is set in Hanmer Springs and also provides a bar and barbecue facilities. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. Have stayed here many times over the years, our last visit was under new ownership and they certainly have spruced the place up a lot, only downside for us was that they have removed room service but the restaurant is still running, and still as good as it always has been
