We loved our stay at Larnach Lodge! Brendan and Jo are the epitome of hospitality. The view from our room was breath taking. The cooked to order breakfast was also a great start to the day. This is a must stay if you are wanting to stay on the Otago peninsula!

A beautiful location. The room was large and comfortable and the bathroom was also big and warm. We had a delicious meal in the dining room. My only complaint is that the staff member serving us wine had not idea about wine and could not guide us at all.

Unexpected Surprise

The environment was very pleasant and the castle was lovely. However, what we didn't realize was that we had to share showers and bathrooms with up to 7 other units, so that meant leaving the room at night to go to the restroom, and taking a shower and rushing back to your room; overall very unpleasant.

Breathtaking Views of Nature on a Solid Foundation

Very impressive entrance. The whole castle vibe starts at the entrance iron gates and the sentry box. Narrow country laneway winds around the castle to the Lodge accommodation passing car parks and gardens. Be mindful of buses and cars coming the other way. Met by reception as we tried to locate a car park space near the Lodge. Low key reception check in space. Friendly reception manager provided all the information we needed to know accompanied with a map and the information that had been spoken in print, then showed us to our room. First impact, the outstanding natural imagery outside the large window. Period style furnishings and modern bathroom with heated flooring (love the tartan wallpaper, on top half of wall, adds to the overall effect) Dined in the castle with a guided tour after our meal. A very special experience.

The Larnach Castle Lodge is just behind the main castle. The Lodge rooms have beautiful views over the Otaga Peninsula and coast. And Larnach Castle and its grounds are fantastic, and available free of charge for Lodge guests.

Do not book here unless you are okay driving up turny narrow roads with no guardrail. It is terrifying. Also there is very little parking around the lodge and stables. The view from our room was incredible...it was the best thing about our stay.

The Otago Peninsula is beautiful, our room was spacious with an amazing view. Could get too hot in summer. It could have been a great stay but unfortunately an incident at breakfast meant we had to leave to catch our ferry before it was ready. We arrived at breakfast dead on 7:30 and immediately ordered our food before sitting down after another couple. Unfortunately our food was given to another couple who did not realise it was theirs until they had put on salt and pepper and touched some of the toast. The waiter was very apologetic and said they would re-do ours. However at least 2-3 other tables then got their food and we were still waiting although told we were next. The couple we had arrived with were long gone by now and we just had to leave to make sure we got the ferry.

Was really looking forward to staying here, unfortunately disappointed, I stayed in stable annex, deco and furniture dated and worn, walls so thin you could hear conversations in rooms next door both sides, I'm sure the lodge rooms are better, staff very helpful and castle, ground very nice, just shame about the room, I didn't get to see other rooms as they were full
