Elegant Camp Estates at Larnach Castle, Dunedin
Our stay at Camp Estates at Larnach Castle was lovely. From the moment we rang at the gate to check in until the moment we drove away we were pampered and spoiled with royal service. The accommodations are beautiful and the breakfast was delicious. The view is second to none, as it looks down over the Otago Harbor. Every detail was just perfect. We look forward to returning.

I really enjoyed the wonderful hospitality of all the staff.
The accommodation is outstanding but the staff are the heart of the place. Enjoyed meeting other guests.

Everything was beyond our already high expectations. The castle and gardens were spectacular, and the peninsula offered even more treats.

The property was beautiful. We enjoyed the room, bathroom. The breakfast was disappointing. It took 45 minutes from ordering to receiving sitting there from 8:30am to 9:15am watching others eat, then having them watch us was super awkward. Change breakfast so that it can be served within 15 minutes of ordering, even if all 10 people come down at similar times.

It would be hard to find a more pleasant place to lodge the night. Wonderful rooms, the service was excellent. Very satisfying. And the weather allowed us magnificent views up the harbour.

Magnificent Estate
Beautiful property with fantastic views of Dunedin. The staff was excellent, very attentive, friendly and accommodating. Very nice room too!
The accommodation is amazing, there are only 5 rooms in the property, so small just how I like. 5 star in every way.
As a guest you can go to dinner at the castle, was a great experience too (it's not free).
The Otago peninsular is great, beaches, wildlife and scenery.

Fantastic lodge with great views
We stayed one night at Camp Estate, and had a great experience. Our hostess Vivi was very welcoming and friendly. The room was beautiful- very well appointed, with a gas fire. Breakfast was included and was a full cooked breakfast of your choice, dining with the other guests. We were in Dunedin to go to a concert. Vivi arranged transport for us into Dunedin, and back afterwards. Our bus driver was very informative and helpful.
Though the lodge is on the peninsula rather than in town, I would thoroughly recommend staying here. The views were spectacular, the staff wonderful and the rooms luxurious. It also had the added bonus of being within easy walking distance of Larnach Castle, a great local attraction.

Absolutely wonderful.
This place was amazing! Our room was stunning. As we pulled up, we were met by Roger who was the host. He was so helpful and hospitable. Dinner at the castle is a must! What a lovely evening we had there. In the morning, Roger and Sandra cooked breakfast for us which was just wonderful. Sandra was very helpful and caring as well. It felt like we were staying with family! Thank you both for a wonderful experience at a wonderful place. If you're in Dunedin, stay here!
