Winter is a Special Time…and a Time for Specials!

Roaring fire in the drawing room with a plate of canapés
Winter evenings at Pen-y-bryn begin with a fire in the drawing room, a glass of something local, and a board of house-made canapés. This is what we mean by a warm welcome.

Oamaru winters have their own special magic — crackling fires, dark skies perfect for stargazing, and the unhurried pace of a lodge that’s all yours to enjoy. Whether you’re cycling the Alps 2 Ocean trail, exploring the Waitaki Whitestone Geopark, or simply looking for a peaceful retreat, winter at Pen-y-bryn is a wonderful time to visit.
