We had a wonderful 1-night stay at the Franz Joseph Oasis. Everything from our check in when we arrived to cleanliness of the room and staff responsiveness to our every question was wonderful. The young lady at the front desk is wonderful and took care of us with a smile. A must consider hotel if you are visiting Franz Joseph.

This was a lovely place to stay at. Staff members were very helpful and polite. The large room was nicely furnished in a minimalist style. Generous sized bathroom with nice toiletries. The room looked out onto a small pond and patio chairs were available on decking to relax and unwind. A laundry was available to guests. The breakfast was simple and nutritional. A small buffet range of cereals, fruits, cheese, tomato, cold meat, boiled eggs and bread. Help yourself. It was non fussy and filling. Definitely stay again and would recommend it to family and friends

Staff were really helpful. Stayed on way past normal check in time after we were delayed by a 7 hour road closure. Electric.log fire was on which gave a warm cosy welcome along with a small welcome gift that was much appreciated. Good suggestions for dining out and places to go. Had a good outside seating area, by dining area was sheltered with heaters allowing to have breakfast outside with open country views.

The rooms were spotless, containing a bath with jets and overhead shower. Great water pressure. Located 10 mins from the town in a nice quiet location. The lady at reception was very friendly and helpful and gave us tips where to eat. The gentleman at breakfast was very polite and friendly. The hotel also has a 24 hr laundry with a honesty box available but we didn’t use it.

Room was very clean and comfortable but a bit bland for the size and cost. Could be much improved with a coffee machine or plunger and a couple of paintings on the bare walls. Continental breakfast fairly basic but reasonable. Nice outlook from the room.

Angela was a superb host. So warm and welcoming. The rooms are excellent with lots of thought put in to the little things that make a stay special like - the fireplace in the room and the comfy lounge chairs. Definitely the best place we have stayed during our two weeks roadtrip around the South Island.
