We have absolutely adored the whole stay over, group dinner, breakfast in the stables and explore the castle and gardens experience. But what made the standout was the attention to detail. From the choice toiletries, little fun things in the room to the careful seating choices and meals with the chefs dinner, would like to meet the chef next time so we could compliment them! The patience of the staff and the effort to go the extra mile. Breakfast, I went to toast a piece of bread and was offered more fresh scrambled eggs as the ones I left at my table could have become a little cold ( I was ok). Will plot to come back. Well done team.

Amazing stay
Our room in the lodge was spacious and decorated beautifully. The view from our window over the Otago peninsula was spectacular and the sounds of the birds was beautiful. There was a delicious spread at breakfast in the stables. The dinner in the castle was delicious! We were all seated together at a long table and we were chatting to the other guests. Service was excellent and we got a wee guided tour afterwords.

Most amazing stay at this fabulous, unique property. Our room was amazing, as were the views from our windows. Breakfast included was delicious, and the opportunity to explore the castle and gardens as part of the package was fantastic. Loved our stay and would definitely come back.

We stayed one night in the "Stables" accommodation. The atmosphere and novelty of this type of stay was our reason for doing so. Overall our stay was great with the buffet breakfast being the highlight. For the price (which included visit inside the castle and the buffet breakfast) seemed good to us. We are NOT the type of people who usually chooses sharing bathroom facilities with strangers. However, it was "off season" so there was only one other couple staying in the lodge besides our family party of 5 therefore, it wasn't a problem. We were pleased that the room and bathroom facilities were very clean and tidy. The room was sufficiently warm for end of May. Our mattress on the bed was not very firm and comfortable but tolerable. Staying at the castle overnight was convenient for travelling to the end of the peninsula to view the penguins at dusk and to eat dinner in Portabello.

My recommendation is to not stay in the stables. There is very little headroom in the corner rooms and it made for an uncomfortable stay particularly if you have to get up to go to the loo during the night. Otherwise everything else about a stay at Larnach Castle is sublime. The dining experience in the castle at night involves average food but well worth it for the convivial shared evening with other guests and staff

Cute stay with great service and yummy breakfast
Very cute to stay at the castle. The service was exceptional. It was very clean with comfortable bed. It is an older property with restoration work happening but this is all expected. The breakfast options are excellent and very delicious.
