Luxuriate in a part of New Zealand's history

Oamaru and the Waitaki District have been one of New Zealand’s fastest-growing travel destinations for several years, and it’s easy to see why. As one of the country’s most historic and beautiful towns, with a unique look and feel that earned it the accolade “New Zealand’s coolest town” from Lonely Planet, Oamaru has something for just about everyone, whether you’re interested in architecture, wildlife, scenery, art and culture, gastronomy and more! And as the premiere boutique hotel in Oamaru, Pen-y-bryn is the place to stay if you want a truly memorable and enjoyable visit to this stunning town, while at the same time being close to many more of the South Island’s most iconic attractions. Read more inside about why we think your visit to New Zealand should include Oamaru, and what makes a stay with us something very special indeed!

Booking direct not only ensures that you get the best available rate (including specials that are only offered to guests who book directly), but also allows us to tailor your visit to your particular preferences. If you have special interests, whether it’s in our many attractions, or in the gastronomy of our area, we can organise outings for you, and help schedule your activities so you don’t find yourself unable to do the things you want to. And if you have dietary restrictions, we can be sure to have suitable items on hand for your breakfast, canapés and, if you opt to dine with us, for dinner.
