And as the premiere accommodation in Oamaru, Pen-y-bryn is the place to stay if you want a truly memorable and enjoyable visit to this stunning town. 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!
Explore the LodgeGourmet Cuisine
Evening dining is a highlight of any stay at Pen-y-bryn. As members of both the Slow Food Movement and the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, we take the preparation and the presentation of our meals very seriously, and pride ourselves on serving seasonal, local and healthful foods. Much of the produce comes from our own gardens, and what we cannot grow ourselves we source from local and sustainable farms. Meats and seafood generally come from within a 100km radius of the lodge.
