Franz Josef Oasis, hotel in Whataroa

Opened in 2014 and offering 20 luxurious rooms with free WiFi, Franz Josef Oasis is just 10 minutes’ drive from the Franz Josef Glacier.

Lovely room with view out over gardens and pond, and what was probably beautiful scenery which due to the weather we could not see. The included continental style breakfast was very nice. The young German lady Fransisca who appeared to do everything at the hotel was really lovely, helpful and friendly, a great front of house asset.

    Such a peaceful location with stunning mountain views.

    Such a peaceful location with stunning mountain views. Had a great night with the other guests chatting around the dining table. Unfortunately I grabbed a bite to eat before arriving and missed the amazing dinner they were having but was able to enjoy a few glasses of wine and their company. The bed was so comfortable and much appreciated after my all day trip from Wellington. Woke up to the sound of bird song and the distant moo of a cow. The view of the sun rising over Mount Adam from the lounge with fresh coffee in hand set the tone for the rest of my day. Breakfast was generous, hearty and delicious. Much, much better than a Motel stay and felt more like visiting friends.
