More info

With its exciting, sometimes scandalous and tragic history, magnificent carved ceilings, New Zealand antiques and breathtaking views, Larnach Castle offers you a vision of the past and present. Today, the Castle is the home of the Barker family, who have spent nearly 50 years lovingly restoring the building and recreating the beauty of the 14 hectares of gardens and grounds.
