Excellent quality large, clean rooms (more like apartments than motel rooms) with really comfy bed and pillows and friendly helpful owners. Nicer, cleaner and more comfortable than any other motel I have stayed at including 5 star city motels, at a fraction of city prices. Flat screen TV, off street parking, quiet, clean and safe. Great base for visiting surrounding... More

We stayed here 1 night while on a group tandem bicycle tour in January 2012. Ross, a very friendly fellow, was really great in having a garage to store all 8 of our tandems, particularly with all the rain that was forecast that night (and it did rain!). The rooms were extremely clean and spacious, and though our room was... More

We spent 12 days in the south island and this was our favourite accommodation out of them all, it's a shame we didn't have the time to spend about her night there. Ross was great for local advice and what to do, and showed us some good pointers for our trip - ending up with us changing our planned route... More

This was our first halt in New Zealand and Highfield Mews was indeed a delightful experience. The rooms were well kept and there was a lot of space to move around. Debbie and Ross had stocked our fridge for breakfast the next morning so there was no wait. Unfortunately we did not stay at Oamaru long enough to enjoy the... More

Stayed here on a business trip, and was delighted with my room. It was quiet, comfortable and I liked having a separate bedroom and lounge area. The bathroom was large, spotless and well designed and fitted out. Good shower too. We ordered breakfast (basic cereal/toast/yogurt) and it was put in the fridge whilst we were out for dinner; the lights... More

Oamaru is an elegant, historic town, with imposing architecture which I like very much - the challenge is to find any accommodation that remotely matches its character. Highfield Mews advertises itself as Oamaru's "newest" motel which I'm sure it is. It is on Thames Street, the straight very lengthy highway into town that houses a string of dead boring characterless... More

Stopping in Oamaru while travelling the North-South highway is highly recommended. This historic town has much to offer. The Highfield Mews Motel features very comfortable and well-appointed rooms with modern amenities - indeed a touch of class! But that's not all: your hosts do everything in their power to make your stay a pleasant and memorable one. More
