Larnach Castle

Larnach Castle and Gardens offers a step back in time. Built in 1871 by William Larnach as his family home, it's an iconic example of New Zealand heritage. Discover the stories of Larnach, a man of innovation and hope who faced personal tragedy. After falling into ruin, the Castle was purchased by the Barker family in 1967, who have worked tirelessly to restore it and cultivate a Garden of International Significance. Enjoy our charming Ballroom Cafe, boutique Gift Shop, and three unique accommodations on the Castle grounds: Larnach Lodge, The Stables, and Camp Estate. Located on the Otago Peninsula, just 25 minutes from Dunedin. Visit New Zealand's Castle - open daily.
