We had a wonderful stay at Highlands on Homestead. The space was warm, welcoming, spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. In terms of cooking, the stove top is a double hotplate and it worked very well. Our hosts were very friendly and invited us to feed the alpacas and Highland cattle. That was really special. The centre of Oamaru was less than 10 minutes away but we felt like we were in the country. We would highly recommend staying there.
