Discover New Zealand’s only Castle, built 1871 by William Larnach, merchant baron and politician, for his beloved first wife Eliza. 200 workmen spent three years building the Castle shell and master European craftsmen spent a further 12 years embellishing the interior. Larnach spared no expense on his dream home, which features the finest materials from around the world.
Today the castle is home to the Barker family, who have spent more than 30 years lovingly restoring the building and recreating the beauty of 35 acres of gardens and grounds.
Another new recreation of the colonial farm building set in the gardens of Larnach Castle, is the twelve bedrooms with private facilities, each individually decorated in period style. Each room has a splendid view of the ocean 1000 feet below.
Larnach Castle is close to the Royal Albatross Colony, The Yellow Eyed Penguin Reserve, Monarch Wildlife Cruises and Glenfalloch Gardens.
Lodge guests may dine in the castle dining room and are also invited on a complimentary tour of Larnach Castle.
