Larnach Castle

Dunedin, New Zealand

History

A stone mansion built in the 1870s on the ridge of the Otago Peninsula, with ballroom, tower and gardens overlooking the harbour. Entry is paid, with a café on site. The road up from Highcliff Road is narrow and winding, so large motorhomes should take care.
