Excellent in every way! Room spotless, cute and comfortable, every staff member we had dealings with was warm, friendly, helpful and professional. Food excellent, we booked the dinner experience and also the breakfast was extremely good. An awesome experience!
Our room in the Lodge had amazing views and a beautiful bathroom and great size. The staff were so lovely and helpful. We loved looking around the grounds well looked after beautiful views. The Castle was my highlight will definitely be back again.
The only downside to our stay was a slight problem with the room. This was acknowledged and apologised for and an offer of a 20% reduction if we revisited. Everything else was excellent and the accommodation package booked through Expedia was very good value
, including Castle entrance,garden viewing and a fantastic breakfast. The staff were friendly, efficient and enthusiastic.
Really fun to stay at a castle! Ok, not actually in the castle but on the grounds. Staff were excellent and the supper in the castle dining room was lovely.
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.
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!
Amazingly beautiful property. Staff incredibly helpful. We arrived very late due to some unforeseen circumstances. We were warmly welcomed st 1030pm. The breakfasts were delicious with many different options.
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!
