Absolutely faultless; a welcome oasis in the midst of a demanding schedule. The owners went beyond what one could expect to be helpful and welcoming. Thank you!! More

My partner and I decided to spend a few days in Oamaru. We wanted a nice place to stay....but within reason in price. This place was perfect. For what we got I really can't believe the amazing price. It was so clean you could eat off the floor. The spa bath was relaxing and the big TV and free wifi... More

Very clean, comfy and the price was right. Spa bath in our unit. The caretakers working (covering for the owners) were lovely and very helpful. Would recommend - although it is on the main street, it is quite quiet in the rooms at the back (we were in room 18). More

Very nice hotel with helpful staff. We just walked in to this one with no real plans. Staff was very helpful and gave us a choice of rooms. Each was very clean modern, and the price was right. Had we more time, we would have extended our stay in Oamaru. Great little town with very friendly people. More

Had a very pleasant 2 night stay here. Highfield ticks all the boxes for this type of accommodation - clean, functional, free WiFi, modern tasteful furnishings. I really wish all motels in this price point were up to this standard. Only minor suggestion would be that the shower over the bath situation is not ideal for older or mobility impaired... More

Stayed at Highfield 1 night when passing through Oamaru. (Drove from Christchurch, to Lake Tekapo, to Lake Pukaki then overnighted in Oamaru). Did not have a reservation, but a couple of rooms were available. New, clean facility. Laundry in separate area outside of room. Comfy bed and accommodation. Friendly staff and check-in. More

What a positive influence it has to have a great host. The accommodation is perfect, good value for money and every tip from the owner is gold. More

We stayed in a two-room unit in the middle of the property. Upon flying in to Christchurch from Sydney and a 3-hour drive, the first touch-down was particularly important: it was so good to be expected and be informed about the various options in Oamaru. We were bluffed by the brand new, high standing of the unit including spa bath,... More

Stayed for two nights. As other reviewers noted, the property is new and the rooms are smartly furnished. Upon check in I was placed in an "accessible" room. I didn't realize when I booked (my fault) that the room would only have a shower. I called to see if I could be moved to another room and could not as... More
