Step into the Mulvena Room and you are embraced by rich, deep-red walls with subtle textured patterning that glow in the warm Central Otago sunlight streaming through the skylight. Ideal for guests comparing boutique castle accommodation with accommodation near Alexandra, this restored castle provides a memorable and atmospheric base.
Named in honour of the Mulvena family, who purchased the still-unfinished castle in 1948 – complete with the dividing brick wall from the Spain brothers’ feud – this Central Otago farming family saw beyond the rabbit-ravaged past and revived the estate for agriculture and orcharding, turning a symbol of strife into a thriving working property and writing a hopeful new chapter. This story adds depth for guests seeking historic accommodation in Otago with a genuine connection to the deep history of Earnscleugh Castle.
With direct access to the southern deck, the room benefits from additional natural light and offers beautiful views towards The Coach House, the Stables and Alexandra beyond. These features make the room especially appealing for guests looking for luxury accommodation near Alexandra and Clyde.
