What people say

"This castle is the only one in New Zealand and is an important and loved piece of Dunedin history. Built in 1871 by William Larnach, a Scottishman, who made a career as a merchant and politician, Larnach Castle has been carefully restored to its original Victorian splendor, and its beautiful rooms and gardens are open to the public 365 days a year. The castle boasts a 3,000 square foot ballroom, which hosts high tea at 3 pm every day, and a tower commanding sweeping views of the Otago Peninsula."
Courtney Spencer
"As the only genuine castle in NZ, this is well worth a visit. Tour the grounds and gardens yourself or get treated to a royal high tea"
Anna Gardner
"The castle was built in 1871 by William Larnach, a wealthy merchant and politician, as a private residence for his family."
