Highlights
A beautifully restored heritage building with modern comforts, The Coach House is perfectly placed for cycling the Lake Dunstan Trail and exploring Central Otago’s wineries.
Overview
Stay in the beautifully restored Coach House on the grounds of Earnscleugh Castle (Heritage NZ Category 1), just five minutes from Clyde, ten minutes from Alexandra, and directly beside the Lake Dunstan Trail trailhead. This historic stone building offers a rare opportunity to stay within one of Central Otago’s most significant heritage estates, surrounded by mature trees, gardens planted more than a century ago, and sweeping rural views. It’s an ideal base for cyclists, wine lovers, and anyone wanting to slow down and experience the region at an easy, unhurried pace.
Carefully restored by the owners, Ryan & Marco, the three-bedroom Coach House blends original heritage features—exposed stone, timber detailing, and thoughtful antiques with modern comfort and convenience. Inside you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen, a cosy lounge warmed by a wood burner, a modern bathroom, and laundry facilities, along with safe parking and exterior e-bike charging for longer stays. Spend your days riding the Lake Dunstan Trail, exploring nearby wineries, or wandering the historic grounds, then return for a long shower and a glass of local Pinot in front of the outdoor fire. Guests enjoy complete privacy during their stay, with the option to arrange a host-led tour of the castle (subject to availability) for a deeper insight into this remarkable and carefully preserved property.

Villas, holiday homes and apartments are not commercial entities like hotels. Properties offered by Release NZ are often booked well in advance and can be difficult to re-rent at short notice. Payments are therefore non-refundable if a guest cancels. We strongly recommend that all guests take out comprehensive travel insurance to protect against cancellation charges, medical expenses, travel disruption and other unforeseen circumstances that may prevent them from travelling.
Only the services and amenities listed under Inclusions are included in the accommodation rate. Additional housekeeping, private chefs, provisioning, transfers, activities and other concierge services can be arranged separately.
