Carol Visits Larnach Castle in New Zealand

Carol in front of the Larnach Castle in New Zealand.  

Larnach Castle was build in 1871 as a private residence but now operated as a hotel and gardens.

Beautiful views.

The garden has received the title of "Garden of International Significance". 

The castle grounds have three hotel accommodations.   The main hotel was fully booked,  Jim and Carol stay at the "Stable".  It's not really a horse stable but it does have a fake house to match the name of the accommodation.

The room has irregular shape ceilings.   At some places the ceiling is so low that Jim cannot stand up.

Sheep are everywhere including the castle grounds and the roads leading to and from the castle.
