Stunning location. Excellent breakfast. Rooms are tiny! Booked a dinner in the castle which was great. Had booked for me and my son who is 13. Even though I asked for one adult and one child (states on the website age requirements), they still simply charged for two adults. Apart from that, it was great!

Staying in the Lodge was special, with a four poster bed and spectacular views. Dinner in the Castle was wonderful. The food was excellent and it was enjoyable to mingle with the other dining guests. The breakfast was also very good. Overall our visit to the Castle exceeded our expectations and was good value for money.

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!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
The staff were genuinely wonderful, the location and gardens are beautiful, the views are breathtaking, and the breakfast was truly excellent. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment came from the actual room. For a hotel charging $400 a night, the accommodations were well below average outdated, cramped, and lacking basic amenities. I understand they’re aiming for a period-accurate aesthetic to match the castle’s charm, but there’s a difference between “historic” and simply worn out. When the chair has no cushion or springs left, and the bed isn’t much better, it stops feeling authentic and starts feeling neglected. Overall, despite the lovely setting and great staff, the room quality just doesn’t justify the price. Not worth the hard-earned money.
