Guest Reviews
- Rob (9/5): A great place to stay away from town Very scenic spot with beautiful bird life. - Breakfast was great. Lovely dining room & staff member quietly replenishing when needed.
Staff so welcoming & obliging with any help. Lounge chairs shape not quite right for us.
- Washington (9/5): - Fizemos um late checkin, a recepção já estava fechada mas nosso quarto estava disponível. O quarto era grande com lareira e tinha aquecimento também no banheiro. A vista do quarto era linda pois ficamos voltados para gramado atrás do hotel.
A cama super confortável. O café da manhã poderia ser melhorado. O resto estava tudo ótimo.
- Alain (8/5): - Accueil très chaleureux
- Thick (9/5): -
- Lynette (10/5): - The view was so beautiful and the people that ran the place were super lovely. With a very cool dog and rabbit for us to pat . Nothing. Was perfect
- Tania & Michael (9/5): -
- Geoff (10/5): -
- Cherie (9/5): Highly recommended, lovely room, great location - Lovely room with view over garden A little further out of town to be able to walk but it was only a 5-minute drive

- Page (10/5): -
- Katie (8/5): - This room was the perfect, private little suite; comfortable with nice views. Breakfast was mediocre; a fancy coffee machine, yogurt with granolas, fruit, sliced meats, and toast.
- Francis L (8/5): - Everything was how it should be, well maintained and everything worked Nothing
- Robert (10/5): Modern, gezellig motel met fantastisch uitzicht. - Beste van 2 werelden. Helemaal buiten met een mooie tuin. En toch maar een paar minuten van Franz Josef.
Fantastisch uitzicht op omliggende bergketens.
De open haard is super als er eens een kille dag is!
Plezierige ontvangst. Niets
- Guest (9/5): -
- Michelle (9/5): Cosy comfort - The room was beautifully appointed with a warm and cosy vibe , we loved the fireplace and the bed was super comfortable.
The breakfast was a nice healthy bonus 😋 Distance to town but not too far
- Kathy (10/5): - Beautiful accomodation and a continental breakfast as part of the price
Would highly recommend
- Lorraine (10/5): - Location excellent. Rooms are extremely spacious. So clean and inviting. The staff were wonderful. This was the best accommodation of our stay
- Graham (9/5): -
- Allan (8/5): -
- Roslyn (10/5): We had a peaceful sleep and a lovely breaky in the morning ! Will definalty come again !! Value for money and clean and - Property was very clean and organised. The bed was very comfortable and the room was so warm and toasty !!
- Antony (9/5): Stylish Motel - Oasis Motel was ideally situated just outside Franz Josef village. Greeted by friendly receptionist and room was immaculately presented. Motel was in lovely grounds, just of main highway, but not noisy.
Room was very comfortable and the continental breakfast was sufficient. Great stopping point for our visit. Everything all good.
- Lucy (10/5): Beautiful, cosy, homely and lovely brekky ⭐️ - Angela was a wonderful host. Super helpful and attentive. Allowed us to check in early after some trouble with our morning. The rooms are PERFECT, so clean, cosy, comfortable and beautiful. The fire just makes it that extra bit special. Bonus that breakfast is included which was also delicious. Can’t believe how cheap it was for the service provided and the room!!!! Also has laundry ✨ Nothing, it was a perfect stay 😊
- Paula (10/5): Totally delightful and comfortable. - It’s clean like new with many extra accommodations - with everything you need. The environment is beautiful and quiet, only 4 minutes away from the town. The owner Angela is very personal and considerate. Nothing.
- WEI (10/5): - 房间大风景好,还有早餐,虽然离镇中心有点距离,但开车无所谓,反而觉得更安静适合度假。 没有
- Lauren (10/5): So comfortable and luxurious - Everything was fantastic Nothing
- Jenny (9/5): -
- Philip (10/5): - White bright rooms, very clean and comfortable. Nothing it was lovely.
- Nutan (9/5): -
- Patrick (10/5): An unexpected gem of a retreat! - The room was so large and spacious and very comfortable. We looked out on a beautiful rural vista with a duck pond and fields full of sheep. The bathroom was very large and had a spa bath as well as shower. The staff were all so lovely and very welcoming. The continental breakfast was very satisfying. The premises also had a laundry for guests which is always a winner. We loved being about 5 minutes drive out of town. It was much quieter and peaceful here, but also close enough to drive in for dinner with lots of nice restaurants and cafes available. Nothing.
- Max (9/5): Good venue - Good room good breakfast A little far out of town
- margaret (10/5): N /A - N/A N/A
- Donald (9/5): -
- Tomasz (8/5): -
- Klaus und Bonnie Jean (9/5): Zimmer ist sauber, bequeme Betten. Shuttle Taxi zum Restaurant ist super. -
- Adrienne (10/5): A pleasant stay. - Beautiful room and property. Very comfortable bed and good spacious bathroom. Good continental breakfast available in the dining room. There was little privacy. Each room has glass doors and windows opening directly to passing traffic so curtains had to be drawn at all times.
- John (10/5): Very welcoming staff who were happy to chat. - Very friendly, helpful staff. The accommodation was comfortable and spacious with a lovely view to the garden. Ease of access to the garden.
- Katja (10/5): Eine der besten Unterkünfte auf unserer Reise. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben. - Für neuseeländische Verhältnisse ein tolles Frühstück!
Ein traumhaft schöner Garten mit einer großen Terrasse!
- Simon (9/5): Peaceful and relaxing - Modern, clean and comfortable A little further out if town than I realised (my fault) but beautiful setting
- Barbara (9/5): Nice stay at Franz Joseph Oasis. Happily recommend. - Beautiful property, very large clean room with a fireplace and comfortable chairs. Small dining area. Nice View to large garden area and mountains. Good breakfast buffet. Friendly staff and free parking. The bathroom, while large could be a little better equipped. Heater was a bit noisy.
- Marion (10/5): - Gorgeous views
Free breakfast which we hadn’t expected
- PERRY (10/5): Very nice accommodation very close to Franz Josef town ...... - Although the motel is slightly outside of town, we didn't mind the 5min drive. Even without a car, there are some restaurants which will arrange pickup from the motel so this shouldn't be a big issue. There are many good restaurants in town which mostly do not take reservations, so just arrive early and have a drink before enjoying a good meal. The staff at the motel from check-in, housekeeping and check-out were extremely friendly which is important after driving across South Island for a month. Although the motel provided breakfast until 9:00am, we definitely did not wake up that early for it which is a shame. We would definitely recommend this motel! Wish the breakfast hours could be extended as 8-9am is quite limited (and too early).....
- Candy (8/5): Lovely place to stay. - Beautiful location. Spacious room. Great sleep! It says it’s a hotel but it’s more like a motel.
- Melinda (9/5): Beautiful but overpriced - We had a beautiful spacious room. Very clean and great view. The room was overpriced (as I found with most accommodation generally in NZ)breakfast was included in the price and was a pretty basic continental
- Joanne (9/5): - comfortable and quiet
- Pedro (10/5): -
- Uzy (10/5): -
- Frederique (9/5): Great stay! - Comfy bed, nice that breakfast is included. Super friendly staff!!
- Gianna Loro (10/5): - The rooms were like new beautifully decorated. Great quality mattress and pillows. Complimentary breakfast was a bonus although very basic. A little out of town 5 or 6 mins so a car is essential. Staff very friendly especially Angela. Definitely recommended. Nothing
- Sarah (10/5): We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Zero complaints. The room was great, the breakfast was perfect, the property was - The location was great. Close enough to the town to be convenient but far away enough to be secluded from any noise. There was nothing we did not like.
- Hans-Jürgen (8/5): - Ohne Beanstandungen Das Frühstück war dem Anspruch des Hotels mit 4Sterne Plus nicht angemessen.
- Graeme (10/5): Great place to stay with wonderful views and extremely helpful staff. - Hotel was lovely, very comfortable with lovely views and a good breakfast. Owners Angela and her husband were so helpful when we had car problems, couldn't do enough to help us get back on the road which we really appreciated. Nothing
- Richard (7/5): -
- Peter (9/5): Nice - Well appointed unit in a good location. Great bdeakfazt included Barhroom sink is ridiculous, a great trough with 2 taps .... why? And nowhere to put any bathroom stuff
- Peter (10/5): A Friendly and Comfortable Stay - Very comfortable stay with friendly staff
- Gerald (10/5): -
- Russell (10/5): Lovely motel, let down a little by its breakfast offer. - Lovely location and comfortable, high quality rooms. Excellent views of the mountains. Easy parking. Nice staff. The breakfast was very basic and disappointing. A relatively small upgrade would have made our stay even more enjoyable. The coffee from the machine was terrible. Avoid! The ‘fruit’ came out of a tin. The bread was of the cheap, sliced variety. The yoghurt was sweetened rather than natural. Not great.
- brenda (10/5): Very enjoyable stay at the oasis! - Very clean and comfortable! Very nice gentleman at check in/out. He gave us recommendations to eat and explore. Great price too.
- Lee (10/5): - The room was lovely, well set out lovely furnishings Na
- Mandeep (9/5): -
- Michele (10/5): Peaceful oasis near Franz Josef - The location was a peaceful oasis in the middle of the mountains. Unit was newly renovated with new owners. Everything was spotlessly clean and nicely upscale. Nothing.
- Michael (10/5): Beautiful, calm and well appointed motel accomodation - Everything There was nothing I didn’t like.
- Liz (9/5): - Very helpful staff who helped us book helicopter flight to glaciers. Great location, fresh & clean
- Myriam (10/5): Sehr gut - Das Hotel liegt etwas außerhalb, es gibt nichts zu bemängeln, Zimmer sehr schön, Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich, Frühstück einfach aber gut.
Das Hotel kooperiert mit 2 Restaurants die einen kostenlosen Transfer anbieten, das war super.
- pierre (8/5): Positif - Très propre et confortable Loin du centre

- Ian (8/5): Great facilities , very friendly and helpful staff. - Clean and well appointed rooms. Staff helpful and friendly. Very quiet. Didn’t particularly like having to walk past guests glass doors and windows when going to our car. Not really very private.
- Annemiek (9/5): Prettige accommodatie met ruime kamers - Mooie ruime kamer Niets.
- Guillard Daniel (10/5): Très bonne halte pour se rendre vers les glaciers. - Très bonne situation géographique par rapport aux glaciers.
Très bon accueil avec en plus l'intervention d' un collaborateur français très bienvenu quand on ne maîtrise pas l'anglais.
Chambre spacieuse et aucun problème de stationnement.
Je recommande vivement
- Quigley (10/5): Exceptional service - The lady on duty (Angela I think) was just fantastic. She had so many duties to perform but did them all seamlessly and was eager to help in any way she could. Really nothing bad for us.
- Sally (9/5): - Very comfortable, spacious room
- Silke (8/5): - Fahrservice zu einigen Restaurants Nur einfaches Frühstück
- Caroline (10/5): Fabulous stay here- we loved it. - Attention to detail - everything in the design was very well thought out. Extremely comfortable units. Staff were exceptional. Nothing.
- Oliver (8/5): -
- Pepa (9/5): Muy recomendable - Bien diseñado, limpio y muy atentos. Buen desayuno. Entorno tranquilo y muy agradable. Nuestra habitacion no tenia vistas. Una lastima.
- Krzysztof Kochanek (10/5): - Lokalizacja i personel Brak
- Ozitis (10/5): Great stay at the Glaciers - Cool and modern place. Large bathroom and King bed. Complimentary breakfast was great. Very clean. Could have left some utensils and 2 plates to use.
Not enough power sockets on aide of the bed. ( hidden behind the bed?);
- Helen (10/5): Very good accommodation and facilites in a peaceful location about 4 km outside Frans Josef - Beautiuflly appointed rooms with views across the gardens
- Janik (8/5): -
- DE KESEL (8/5): - Locatie goed, ontbijt verzorgd. Nieuwe uitbater doet get zeer goed.
- John (10/5): The Frank Joseph Oasis is more than what I expected. Great spot! - Friendly staff, good breakfast and close to town. Unfortunately, second day it rained a bit but still saw the mountains in the afternoon. Not much!
- Christoph (10/5): -
- Duchart (8/5): Quiet hotel outside of Franz Josef - Nice clean property with good continental breakfast and clean room. Great place but a little out of Franz Josef
- Cheryl (9/5): Would definitely recommend and hope to return again! - The room was lovely, the staff really helpful and we loved the remote feel while only being six mins drive from the town centre.the grounds and views were amazing and we loved our time there. It would be amazing if it had a small restaurant for evening meal options for those not wishing to drive into town after a day’s excursion (or perhaps a microwave available?). Also a small room safe would be fabulous.
- David (10/5): -
- JOHN (9/5): Clean spacious and modern room and helpful staff - Clean, spacious and modern room, with both a shower and a bath. The staff were very nice and helpful. The internet was slow.
- Ethel5Balam (8/5): Modern, comfortable stay in beautiful surroundings. - The setting was glorious - the young woman in reception when we arrived was welcoming and provided us with lots of helpful information. The room is spacious, the bed and furniture were modern and comfortable. The shower was good. My husband was unable to get the tv working. Breakfast was sustantial and I was provided with gf bread. The TV did not work or was difficult to navigate.
- Tony (10/5): Exceptional - The room is very clean and the bed is comfortable, the fire place is effective and beautiful when turned on. Good breakfast. And staff are very helpful. Nice rural setting.
- Caroline (10/5): - Bedroom and location No marmite at beakfast
- Yukako (10/5): -
- Eileen (7/5): Five minute drive out of the centre of town. They suggested a local bar that would pick us up and drop us off which was - Quiet location and spacious clean room Bed hard as a rock and springs on the side could be felt. TV old and needs upgraded
- Elias (10/5): Excellent hotel to stay. - Location, comfort, friendly, and clean. All is good!
- Daniel (9/5): - Everything about the place was exactly what you need for a comfortable, quiet, clean night stay. Breakfast was plentiful with good variety. It’s 2km outside of town, which is perfect for peace and quiet. Would be difficult if you didn’t have a car. Price was a bit steep. Nothing wrong with the property or room, just expensive.
- Sofia (10/5): Cosy and lovely! - Pretty much everything! Staff were lovely, it was only 5 minutes out of the city which was perfect! The rooms were cosy, the breakfast was nice and the view even better! Would have liked a bowl or two in the rooms just go eat our own snacks we brought along with us
