Situated within the grounds of the impressive Larnach Castle, surrounded by stunning gardens, you'll find Larnach Lodge and Stables stay.

Larnach Lodge offers individually-decorated rooms, with ensuite bathrooms and panoramic views of Otago harbour and the Otago Peninsula. The Stables stay is our budget-friendly option in our original historic Stables building. These rooms have shared bathroom facilities. If you can budget for the stay, it was well worth it! The staff were amazing, the grounds were beautiful, breakfast was delicious, rooms were comfortable with everything you need and more! It was a truly wonderful experience for my whole family, and we would recommend this to anyone traveling on holiday to Dunedin.

The location is very close to the airport. They gave us a pickup from the airport and sent us to pick up our rental cars. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and quiet even though it is close to the state highway. The photos are accurate. Highly recommend.

46 km from Mt. Dobson, Starry Lodge is situated in Lake Tekapo and features air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi. The property has mountain views. The apartment has private entrance.

Each unit has a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, a seating area, a flat-screen TV, a washing machine, and a private bathroom with walk-in shower and a hair dryer. An oven, a microwave and toaster are also offered, as well as a kettle. At the apartment complex, units have bed linen and towels. Gorgeous unit and tastefully designed. A lot of people have pointed out that it offers little privacy due to the many glass panels and windows but we didn't find it a problem as there were ample blinds in all the rooms and shared spaces. The fact that each room had its own bathroom was a huge plus point. The kitchen was well-appointed and had everything we needed to cook a simple breakfast. Location was fantastic too. Easily the nicest place we stayed at during our trip around the South Island.
