Pen-y-bryn has five rooms available to guests: The Garden, Nest, and Park Rooms in the annex and The Victoria and Elizabeth Rooms in the main house. The Elizabeth Room features an original Victorian pedestal tub and underfloor heating, The Garden Room was recently remodeled to be the largest in the house, and The Nest Room is popular with honeymooners thanks to its views of the Pacific Ocean and Kakanui Ranges. The remaining few are, of course, an equally excellent choice.
From the moment you arrive at Pen-y-bryn you’ll be greeted by your friendly hosts; offering to carry your bags to your room, inquiring about your culinary preferences and scheduling the best time for your pre-dinner canapes. Meals can be arranged to fit around your schedule, and tours to see the Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony are best fitted in at dusk.
