Larnach Castle
Situated on the enchanting Otago Peninsula lies the magnificent Larnach Castle, a captivating destination that draws visitors from all corners of the world. Impeccably restored by the Barker Family, the Castle and its breathtaking surroundings serve as the beating heart of the Dunedin visitor experience.

Larnach Castle is a mock castle on the ridge of the Otago Peninsulai. The house was built by the prominent entrepreneur and politician, William Larnach.
