What a pleasant surprise!

We expected a clean, well presented room but our expectations were exceeded. Our room (no 7) has been recently renovated in a very modern style and best of all... it was right on the water's edge. Separate living room, master bedroom and 2nd b/room were all beautifully furnished and the kitchen area is adequate for a short stay,

But the thing that sets the Oasis apart is the fact that it was right on the water... with ducks and swans right outside our verandah.

I'm sure the other rooms are just as well presented but it's the lake frontage rooms that make the Oasis a winner.

We arrived on a freezing day and were greeted by the lovely thoughtful hosts who had made sure the very clean and nicely furnished room was heated before we arrived. We booked this room on the internet and were so happy to find the pictures were a true indication of the place. We had a poolside room, which was great as we could watch our children swim from our room. The bed and bedding were luxurious and we had the best sleep we have ever had away from home. We look forward to staying again.

Stayed here with family, including a three and a half year old. Booked a 2 bedroom, lakeside apartment, which also had a kitchenette and a sitting room. Rooms are on the small side but clean and comfortable. Pleasant and helpful staff. Position is excellent, right on the lake, with an outside patio, visited by ducks. A car ride from the centre of Taupo. Room service was available from the adjacent affiliated hotel, where meals could also be taken. Swimming pool and tennis court. Excellent value for money.

The lakefront rooms are great, motel a little dated but nice and clean and great value for money.
