Larnach Castle Tours

New Zealand's Only Castle, on the Otago Peninsula.

Larnach Castle stands high on the Otago Peninsula above Dunedin, with views over the harbour and peninsula hills. Admission to the castle and its gardens is included on every Uniquely Dunedin tour, together with the best of the city and the peninsula, so you can see it all in one day with a local guide.

Admission Included

Entry to Larnach Castle & Gardens is part of your tour price — no tickets to buy on the day.

About an Hour at the Castle

Time for a self-guided visit through the castle and its gardens before the tour continues.

The Otago Peninsula

The drive out takes in the peninsula's rolling countryside and harbour views, a world away from the city centre.

Dunedin's Highlights Too

The same day includes Signal Hill / Unity Park viewpoints, Baldwin Street, St Clair and free time in central Dunedin.
