Dès notre arrivée, la magie de lieu et votre hospitalité ont tout de suite operé. Cette soirée restera inoubliable!
Henry & Isabelle, France
We enjoyed a very comfortable stay, thank you! You were great hosts and the food and wine were delicious. When we return to New Zealand we will stay with you again.

Oamaru did not seem the best place to base ourselves for two rugby games in Dunedin, but it has been a special treat...the house is a treasure and it has been fantastic to stay here with its old-world charm...Pen-y-bryn is a place we would love to return to!
Mike & Sue, England
Our second visit & in sunshine this year, beautifully mirroring the gracious hospitality & warmth of Pen-y-bryn. The dinners were unforgettable - as usual! Many thanks & hope to return again.
Catherine & Don, Canada
Grazie per l'affascinante soggiorno nella vostra casa, piena d'arte e di
attenzioni, con un respiro internazionale ma nello stesso tempo
familiare.
Spero di ritornare presto,

We had a wonderful time here and it was a lovely treat for our honeymoon!
Mike & Sarah, Australia
Thanks for the great food and warm hospitality. You have given us a great start to our journey around this beautiful island!
Amy & Kimitsu, Singapore
After 3 wonderful weeks in NZ we didn't expect that it could get better. Excellent food and we enjoyed all the lovely flowers!
Udo & Ulrike, Germany
My Grandmother once told me if I see a house with a lot of books, I'd found a home of good people. Thank you
Larry & Ben, USA
Pen-y-bryn's food, service, and hospitality is fabulous and as good as it gets. The setting, lodge, and rooms are stunning. The food would win awards as amongs the best in NZ if B&B's were eligible for restaurant food awards.
Judy & Bill, USA
A painstaking restoration of this residence has resulted in a place of character and olde world that we were privileged to experience. And to complement this, the dinner last night was filled with supreme taste and flavour!
Vishesh & Naheed, Dubai
I am so glad my husband "found" this hotel. Absolutely sumptuous--will be sorry to leave but we must--everything was so perfect!
Patricia & Paul, UK
I am not sure you could ever find more pleasant and knowledgeable hosts than James and James. Our only regret was that we could only stay one evening.
Craig & Lynn, Canada
Thank you for introducing us to Oamaru and Pen-y-bryn, two gems of New Zealand that were almost hidden from us. The dinner was the best we have had in our month's trip around NZ!
Colin & Trish, UK
