Camp Estate by Larnach Castle

We received a warm welcome from Laura when we arrived and a little later she served some delicious appetizers to us and the other six guests prior to our short drive to the Castle for dinner. Our accommodation was very luxurious with beautiful views and we enjoyed a delicious breakfast before we departed in the morning. This was a truly excellent experience and we would recommend a stay here without hesitation.

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.

Our family party of six booked all but one of the guest rooms at Camp Estate for the first destination of our stay in New Zealand. GREAT DECISION! Laurie, Annalise and all the staff were wonderful. After an initial cocktail reception, Laurie drove us to our pre-arranged dinner at the nearby Larnach Castle, as we were jet-lagged after more than 30 hours travel from the U.S. (The Castle and the Estate are part of the same organization.) The view from most rooms was of water across the way; my wife and I faced the back, so our reward was the next morning seeing sheep in the pasture about 15 or 20 meters behind the building. The mattress might have been the best we were to encounter in our next three weeks on South Island. At least it tied for first! Breakfast was a treat. Along with the fresh fruit and yogurt, the cooked-to-order hot foods were amazing. I recommend the French toast, made from home-baked bread. But you can't go wrong with the eggs benedict, oatmeal and other offerings. One of the days we were at Camp Estate involved taking a wildlife tour that went from mid-afternoon to evening ... meaning we would not make the closing time for dinner at most restaurants. The ever-helpful crew went above and beyond, preparing and serving a wonderful charcuterie platter that we enjoyed on our return. Yes, it cost additional, but they did not have to do that. The Estate doesn't normally serve any meals but breakfast. While we were enjoying this charcuterie, Annalise provided us with tips to things to do and see in the next couple of areas were would be visiting. That's just another example of extending excellent service. I highly recommend Camp Estate for those visiting the Dunedin area. If I could rate it higher than 5, I would.

Great quiet room, fabulous staff!!

We finally made it to Larnach Castle! It had been on the wish list for a very long time and our stay at Camp Estate did not disappoint. We were greeted on the front steps by Laura, our very affable hostess who checked us in and showed us around. So began a very enjoyable couple of days exploring the castle and surrounds. We took the option of dinner at the castle dining room with our fellow guests which was superb. But breakfast served at Camp Estate was a special treat. Thanks ladies. What a way to start the day! This place is special and if you deserve a treat we would recommend Camp Estate.
