Location

Old Bones Lodge is located just 4.6 kilometres from Oamaru town centre / a 5 minute drive from Oamaru.

The Penguin colonies are also just 5 minutes from our lodge, and to the South (30 minutes scenic drive) are the world famous Moeraki Boulders.

We’re nestled in lush green farmland right on the beachfront. The land around us is historically significant - it was once the site of an ancient Maori settlement, some 600-800 years ago (hence our name!)
