Class is timeless.
Grace, forever.

We understand the small details make a big difference in the quality and longevity of the memories you create here.

With our careful guardianship of the history and comportment of Pen-y-bryn we are proud to offer accommodation in Oamaru that is at all times inimitable, comfortable and inspirational.
