A Castle, Gardens, and Peninsula Panoramas
Make your way to Larnach Castle, New Zealand’s only castle, perched atop the Otago Peninsula where grandeur meets serenity. Wander through its beautifully preserved rooms and lush gardens, or pause for a moment with a refreshment in the elegant Castle Ballroom café, surrounded by sweeping garden views. The blend of Gothic Revival architecture and coastal landscapes provides a peaceful contrast to the city’s heritage hub.
As your tour wraps up, take one last look over the Otago Peninsula—its rolling hills, sheep farms, and glinting waters remind you of the rich natural beauty that complements Dunedin’s cultural heritage. This seamless blend of architecture, history, and scenery offers a truly enriching introduction to one of New Zealand’s most captivating regions.
