Elegant and unique: Abandoned 100 years ago, the castle now has six uniquely designed suites, which sleep 12 people. The property is situated amongst swimming pools and elegantly landscaped private gardens.
Located on St Elia Ridge, known locally as The Street of Health due to its altitude and clean air, the entire property offers uninterrupted views of a private park and protected countryside beyond.
While there, it seems Kate spent quite a bit of time, riding her bike in a reindeer jumpsuit and dressing up to take her tuxedo-clad pet cat for a ride.
She also posed for photos with two men wearing nothing but tinsel underwear and Santa hats and appeared at a slumber party alongside a man who had dropped his pants.
Smiling Kate shared several delighted posts from the castle grounds, as she paid tribute to film director Harvey B Brown on his birthday.
