Review & FAQ:
Located in the charming South Island city of Dunedin, Larnach Castle is one of very few castles in New Zealand. Built high up on the green hills of the Otago Peninsula, the castle has fantastic views of the city and the Pacific Ocean. Built in the late 19th century by the rich politician and banker William Larnach for his family, the castle is a majestic post-Victorian wonder built with extravagant materials brought from all over the world and furnished with luxurious and opulent treasures.
Larnach Castle is linked to a few scandals, a ghost story or two, curious cat designs, and some well-hidden secret architectural details. Larnach Castle changed several owners until the Baker family bought it and put a lot of effort into restoring it to its former glory. The garden that surrounds the castle is a beauty in its own right and is declared a Garden of International Significance.
