Larnach Castle is not the only gracious peninsula prop­erty open to the public. Near Macandrew Bay is Glenfalloch, a large house in 12 ha of gardens, built at the same time as Larnach Castle. From gentler terrain near the shoreline, the grounds ascend a steep gully. Huge pines, oaks, maples, English beeches, ashes, cedars, a fine matai and more shape the garden, while flowering shrubs such as azaleas, rhododendrons and camellias provide sparkling colour nearer the ground. Bellbirds fill the val­ley with melody.
