Pen-y-bryn Lodge, Oamaru NZ

The hosts of Pen-y-bryn lodge, the Jameses, were exceptional and made our short stay the highlight of our honeymoon trip! The dinner course was excellent and had one of the most tender beef cheeks - with much of the ingredients grown in their home gardens. Still reminiscing the Friulian style lasagne and basque-style cheesecake. The lodge was also adorned with exquisite decorations and souvenirs from the Jameses travels.

A very special place to stay. Spacious rooms with excellent facilities. Really liked the soaps. Fantastic place with wonderful views and full of history. James and James were really excellent hosts and we will definitely visit again. The dogs were really friendly and excellent when you miss your own. Thanks again.
