What You Will Visit
Larnach Castle
Built between 1873 and 1877, this magnificent neo-Gothic estate was built for William and Eliza Larnach and their six children by renowned architect Robert Arthur Larson and commands the highest point on the Otago Peninsula. Approximately 200 men spent three years building the shell of the 40,000-square-foot mansion overlooking Dunedin, Otago Harbour and the Otago Peninsula. Then a team of European craftsmen stepped in to finish the interior, including a 3,000-square-foot ballroom added for the 21st birthday of Larnach's favorite daughter, with a lavish array of masterful embellishments. (Note: no interior photography permitted.)

What You Will See Along the Way
Considered to be the best-preserved Victorian city in the world, the grandeur of Dunedin is yours to admire as you gaze out the motorcoach window. Pass through the city, watching for town highlights such as the Botanic Gardens, the Otago Museum and the magnificent Dunedin Railway Station. In the city center, at the Octagon, admire St. Paul's Cathedral and the Dunedin Town Hall before returning to Port Chalmers.

Photo Opportunity:
The Octagon provides an opportunity to photograph several notable landmarks, such as the Town Hall, the Municipal Chambers and St. Paul's Cathedral-all watched over by the statue of poet Robert Burns.
