Our Story

Dunluce was built in 2005 by a couple with strong Irish roots. They named it after Dunluce Castle on the coastal cliffs of North Ireland, a medieval castle with a rich history that was occupied by their ancestors in the early 16^th century.

In 2018, Hannah Gray moved back to Fiordland after two years in Canada. She had always wanted to own a bed and breakfast so when the opportunity to acquire Dunluce presented itself, it was an easy decision to snap it up. Hannah has put her background in hospitality and creative arts to good use, adding her own special touches to the property that evoke its warm and welcoming feel.
