Visit New Zealand's Only Castle

If you find yourself in Dunedin, don't miss the chance to visit New Zealand's only castle. On the day of the activity, we'll meet at The Octagon at the appointed time and head to the Otago Peninsula to reach Larnach Castle.

Upon arrival, you'll be taken on a one-hour guided tour of the interior of this 19th-century castle. The tour includes the story of William Larnach, an Australian merchant and politician, who built this castle for his wife using only the greatest European minds and the finest materials.

As we explore the various rooms, we'll admire the artworks and Edwardian furniture. After the castle tour, you'll have free time to stroll through the castle gardens, featuring a variety of flowers and plants from around the world. Explore the Patterned Garden, Lost Rock Garden, Serpentine Walk, and Laburnum Arch.

Finally, we'll return to Dunedin, concluding the activity after 3 hours.
