Itinerary

  • Dunedin Railway Station

    We stop here at this magnificent old Railway Station to admire the architecture and take photos.

    15 minutes

  • Northern Cemetery (Pass By)

    Drive through the oldest cemetery in Dunedin and view the spectacular family tomb of William Larnach. Designed by famed architect Robert Lawson in the image of Dunedin's Scottish First Church. The cemetery hosts a number of exquisite grave sites belonging to wealthy prestigious Dunedin people, nestled on a lovely wooded hillside.

  • Larnach Castle & Gardens

    Iconic Tours provide a fully guided small group tour of the Castle's interior. Smaller group size allows us to navigate the Castle with ease, keeping away from the larger groups and fitting much more into the day. New Zealand's infamous castle was built over a century ago by William Larnach high up on the hills of the Otago Peninsula. Experience breath-taking views along the Peninsula's high road with photo stops en-route to the Castle. Upon arrival it will be time for a light lunch in the Ballroom Cafe (at own cost). We reserve a table for our group and a variety of food is available at good prices. After lunch, your guide will escort you throughout the entire castle, from the gun room below to the views from the turret and all the marvels in between. Get all the details as you explore the Larnach family’s legacy and hear the tale of their amazing story.

Our tour guide was fantastic... he took us to the Castle as well as to several other places. He was very knowledgeable and explained the details at all the sites we visit as well as places we drove by along the way. He took time to answer all questions and made the entire trip fun and interesting.

Fabulous day at Castle, Garden Lunch, and City Tour.

Published on Feb, 2025

Winding road to Larnach Castle gave a fantastic view of the surrounding hills and water views. Larnach was beautiful with a history of the joy and sadness wealth can bring. Glenfalloch was a wonderful spot for lunch with amazing gardens and food. Finishing with a tour of Dunedin and a hike on the world’s steepest street was icing on a special day
