Larnach Castle

Ah, where would a trip to Dunedin be without Larnach Castle eh. Beautiful building, lovely gardens, and history to boot. The old buggar Larnach was an MP and took his own life in a room at Parliament. The place has been restored to its former glory by the present owners, and other than the cost of getting in, I could only admire their efforts.
A lot of effort has gone into the gardens and they were looking very pretty with plenty of staff about tending to the gardening chores. Some nice little spaces, including the "Green Room" - a reflective pool at he end of a pergola.
