"Magical, theatrical and homely. Wonderful hosts. I especially loved the roaring stags and mermaids in the bathroom."

At The Mudcastle, not only do we offer sumptuous Bed and Breakfast Suites but, for weddings and conferences, guest rooms within the castle are also made available.

The Mudcastle Suites epitomize the boutique accommodation style, perfect for a much needed Getaway. With completely private entrances, ornate styling, ensuites and romantic features such as private swimming pools, outdoor baths and even a private turret, the bed and breakfast experience here at The Mudcastle is anything but ordinary. Guests are given a guided tour of the castle by the owners who built it if they wish. They enjoy full use of the gardens and pools and a substantial breakfast brought to their suite at the time they select. One of the breakfast highlights is The Mudcastle's handmade Treacle Bread and guests are often greeted on arrival to the wafting aroma of it freshly baking for the following day's breakfasts. Honeymoon couples can also opt for a Champagne Package  or a Honeymoon Night Package for a small additional charge. A booking information and general policy summary page together with access to printable directions on getting here are included in this section of the site for ease of reference.

Guest Rooms are individually and lavishly themed and are available for post function accommodation or group bookings.

Along with accommodation, The Mudcastle also offers a variety of On-site Activities, Facilities and Features and is ideally situated in the region to access a stunning assortment of local attractions.

For a truly exclusive stay or a group getaway, why not hire the Entire Castle? Various ready made packages are available or one can be created for you.

In addition to a Kiwi castle experience, The Mudcastle is uniquely positioned to offer a Combination Holiday showcasing the best of the South Island with a fully serviced Marlborough Sounds luxury bach and a stylish apartment stay in Queenstown, the adventure capital of the world.

" Thanks for an awesome stay at your Mud Castle, it was everything we expected and more. The relaxed atmosphere and great service made for a truly wonderful stay.
Your chefing skills are exceptional, serving us enough delicious food and drink for at least 4 people! You have created something very special there and we will be telling everybody about it. We admire your vision, attention to detail and continued enthusiasm over the years to make the Mud Castle a reality, you must be very proud of the results. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have won the draw which allowed us to escape our routine for a few hours of pampered relaxation. Thanks again."
