★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I love anything old and historic so of course I loved Larnach Castle. Admission prices are a bit high, but nevertheless I loved my visit here. Well maintained and lush gardens, got talking with a staff member who was very knowledgeable about the history of the castle ?
Great place to visit while in Dunedin.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ $37 per adult for going inside the castle is too overpriced. Nothing is really amazing inside the castle.
Castle is nice to look from the outside, but still need to pay $18.5 per adult to drive in.
The view on top of the castle should be amazing. Unfortunately, the day I went it was cloudy and didn't see a thing. But I did Google some photos.
But when we drive back, the fog cleared, and actually, you don't have to be on the castle to see the views. On the way, the view is actually the say in some spots.
Won't coming back ever again.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing place. The one and only Castle here in New Zealand. It's pretty interesting to see all the old Victorian stuff and the whole history behind how the castle got built
One thing to note is that I enjoyed the cafe there. Pretty good food.
Also the views are just fantastic

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The only castle in New Zealand.
There’s a fascinating history to read through about it and the surrounds are beautiful.
For a walk around the gardens and the castle, you’ll be set back by NZD 37 per person.
However, we took it more as a donation to help maintain the grounds and continue the restoration of the castle.
It’s an interesting piece of history worth keeping for generations.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not many opportunities to visit a castle in New Zealand so had to give this a visit when I was in Dunedin. A lot of interesting history on the different parts of the castle plus a very beautiful garden to boot. Definitely worth a visit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Frankly the “Castle” isn’t much to see, and technically this is more a castle looking fancy house than a real castle base on its size and history. The surrounding garden and vegetation are actually more impressive than the building itself, but I do recommend coming over in good weather, and preferably in spring or summer so u can enjoy most of the amazing plants.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Interesting attraction with great views of the surrounding coastline from the top of the castle. Quirky room decorations and great historical information. Gardens are a pleasure to walk around. The cafe in the ballroom has very reasonably priced cakes and slices and good coffee and tea. Ballroom cafe was a delight with 3 open fireplaces and Christmas decorations and wreaths.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I've been to Larnach Castle before and it is a nice stop when you're out on the peninsula to see the penguins or the albatrosses. It is a grand building with an interesting history perched with amazing views of the bay. It looks larger than it really is but it will take some time to make it through as there is a fair about of information and history. The grounds are also beautiful and you should plan to take your time to explore. At the end stop by the cafe for a little refreshment and enjoy the ambience of the ballroom. I've visited in the summer and winter and enjoyed it regardless of the season.
