2 Nights at the Pen-y-bryn Lodge, Oamaru New Zealand

The lodge sits poised at the top of Oamaru’s South Hill within lovingly maintained grounds. Over the years, we have invested in upgrades and improvements so each of our rooms provides modern comfort without diminishing a sense of historical charm. With pride in place, attentive service and a studied menu, we ensure your stay is wonderful.

While the lodge was built in 1889 we’ve stayed with the times to make sure guests have every necessary modern comfort. Our guests like the ultra-fast fibre internet, laundry and booking services. So too do they enjoy the complimentary soft drinks, tea and coffee, and the use of our small fitness room. Above all they appreciate the little touches – be it a warm welcome and help with their bags, or simply that we stay attentive to their needs, ensuring their time here is as effortless and enjoyable as possible.

Pen-y-bryn is a Victorian mansion that was built in 1889 for John Bulleid, a successful local businessman. Welsh for “top of the hill”, Pen-y-bryn was designed by renowned architectural firm Forrester & Lemon for Bulleid and his wife, Fanny.

It is still one of the largest single-storey wooden dwellings in Australasia and has accordingly been awarded Category....

Superior Lodge Room

On the upstairs level of our Oamaru stone ‘Annex’ building the Nest Room delivers this perfect balance. It is one of our largest rooms, with a super-king bed that converts into twin king singles if required. The view is equally big – guests enjoy the perspective out over the township of Oamaru and toward the Pacific Ocean.

Inside the space is used wisely, with a sunken bedroom, a cosy sitting area and a well-appointed en-suite bathroom with heated tile floors and separate oversize bath and shower. Everything combines to deliver a space that is warm, inviting and character-filled. And yes, quite possibly, just that little bit perfectly indulgent.
