What you should know about Penybryn Lodge
Pen y bryn Lodge is a Victorian mansion located in the historic coastal town of Oamaru. Built in 1889 for John Bulleid, a successful local businessman, and his family, it is purportedly the largest single storey wooden dwelling in Australasia. Pen y bryn is Welsh for top of the hill and is a suitable name for the lodge, as it is located at the summit of South Hill, on the southern fringe of town. Built by the firm of Forrester and Lemon, the house was awarded Category One historic status by Heritage NZ in recognition of its special or outstanding historical or cultural heritage significance or value . But the Bulleids were concerned about earthquakes and preferred to use a more flexible building material, so wood for the frame of the building was sourced from the New Zealand West Coast.
The lodge is filled with antiques and furnishings that date back to the original owners, who used a four year trip to Europe during the construction of the house to source fittings and artworks to display in their new home. To help you in that endeavour, we have produced a little booklet that you will find in your guest room that explains the history of the artworks in the house and some of the more interesting pieces of furniture. Pen y bryn Lodge was built as a private residence in 1889 by the famed architectural firm of Forrester Lemon for local businessman John Bulleid and his wife, Fanny. Pen y bryn is Welsh for Top of the Hill and indeed the house sits atop South Hill, one of Oamaru’s most sought after districts.
Reputed to be the largest single storey timber dwelling in Australasia, the house has kept true to its Victorian heritage and today offers discerning guests the perfect combination of old world elegance and modern amenities. James Glucksman and James Boussy aka the Jameses are your hosts, and have owned Pen y bryn since August 2010. Born in the United States, the Jameses have lived and traveled all over the world but have decided to make their home in Oamaru and are eager to show off their adopted home town to their guests. James Glucksman had a career in international management consulting and healthcare for more than 20 years, living and working in more than forty countries all over the world.
Fluent in Russian and Chinese, and with a very good knowledge of French, Spanish and German as well as some limited Japanese and Hungarian , James’ first love was always fine food and wine. He is a member of the Slow Food movement the international organisation that promotes local and sustainable foods and is an Officier Ma tre H telier in the Confr rie de la Cha ne des R tisseurs, the Paris based gourmet society, in the Bailliage of Christchurch. James Boussy was trained as a dentist, and practiced in the US state of Virginia for 15 years before moving his practice to Beijing. James and James were long renowned for the regular dinner parties they would host at their homes around the world, showcasing recipes and wines they picked up during their travels.
Having lived and worked in China for many years, Chinese cuisine is one of their strengths, in particular the spicy cuisines of Sichuan Szechuan and Hunan, though less spicy dishes are also part of the repertoire. If you are interested in sampling authentic Chinese cuisine using the finest New Zealand ingredients, or if you’d like to try the cuisines of Brazil, Morocco, Turkey, India, or something more familiar like the classical dishes of France or Italy, you need just let them know and they will be happy to cater to your every whim
