Absolutely amazing ! Instead of writing an extesive review of how glorious our stay was ,please ...if you have the opportunity to visit Larnach Castle take some time to stay here for at least one nighr,explore the castle and grounds, be inspired and intrigued by the social history ,soak up the breath taking views and atmosphere .In the evening book a four course trust the chef dinner ,meet other guests and dine ,by candlelight in the castle itself all this made possible by the wonderful friendly staff who,are truly exceptional .Relax in a warm and very comfortable bed in the stsbles and wake up to an excellent breakfast served downstairs in the tack room . No rush to leave after checkout, you are welcomed to stay and and resume your castle viewing and gardens at your leisure or have lunch in the ballroom cafe where they also serve an afternoon tea.

The Lodge at Lanarch Castle was comfortable with updated bathroom. The view from our bedroom across to Port Chalmers and along the harbour were amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner in the castle and our breakfasts in the Stables.

While the location is superb, and being able to stay on the Lanarch Castle grounds was a big plus, the rooms are too small, essentially windowless, and sharing dorm-style bathrooms is annoying and does not fit the "castle" theme. Converting the stable was a good idea, but it needs to be redesigned for the contemporary visitor.

Enjoyable Experience! Pretty good value, a nights stay, breakfast for 2, access to the castle & grounds/gardens. The Stables were clean and tidy, excellent breakfast was included - buffet style with cooked breakfast options - full English cooked breakfast, pancakes or Eggs Benedict. The room was small but cosy with good heating, the room was very clean, it had a small jug for hot drinks, a couple of mugs and glasses, a small iron and ironing board. Basic laundry facilities available. A small fridge is provided upstairs in the stables for communal use. The bathrooms were also clean but quite dated and potentially quite cold in autumn/winter months. The shower was a little on the dingy side, which is my only real complaint, it was clean but had obviously mold, could benefit from being up graded. I believe they have a Trust the Chief dinner arrangement (at an additional cost) where you can have dinner in the castle, and there's a cafe in the ballroom. You are able to leave the grounds any time you wish and are given a code to access the gates. Parking can be a bit of a squeeze for the stables and lodge with not many spots available. Definitely not a wheelchair accessible place to stay. Overall it was good value for money and an enjoyable once in a lifetime opportunity to stay and enjoy the atmosphere of Larnach's Castle after dark.

Wow - just fantastic views of the Otago peninsular from our room. The dining experience in the Castle is a must do. Great meal and service in a unique ambiance. Great value too as garden and castle visit is included in the room rate.

Excellent value for money including entrance to the castle and gardens which were both lovely and super breakfast. Shared facilities were nice and clean and the bedroom lovely and cosy. Also able to wash and dry some clothes. All the members of staff were friendly and helpful.
