Oasis Beach Motel

Nice 1 bedroom apartment with sky+ Lakefront, heated pool and 2 hot tubs. The indoor hot tub was nice but could do with a clean. The water was quite dirty and It had a thick line of black mould around it which damaged our swimsuits. I did let reception know so hopefully they will sort it. Housekeeping came in whilst we were out and did a good tidy and washed our cups which was nice of them.

The pool was great and peaceful

The apartment was clean and tidy but a little dated. Beds were comfortable and the small kitchen had everything we needed to self cater. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly and offered advice on local attractions. The heated outdoor pool was perfect and the area well kept.

Pretty cool 2 bedroom apartment right beside the lake for a decent price. Cool hot water pool, outdoor spa, indoor spa and you can use the facilities at the newer motel next door but on the same property, they have a grotto, which is like a spa inside a dark cave with lights and a few little waterfalls etc , a sauna and another hot pool.

We had a lovely stay at the Oasis. We had amazing views from our clean 2 bedroom unit. The front of house staff are really friendly and hospitable. We also appreciated the clean hot pool attached to this motel. An added bonus is that you get access to the next door hotels facilities as well- pools, restaurant, bar, grotto and sauna as well. We have been staying here since 1978 and have loved every visit. Would highly recommend to fellow travellers.

Great location right on the lake front. Pool was lovely and hot but the spa was only warm. But overall a we had a lovely stay, thank you.

The heated pool was awesome

Great spot. Retro feel. Old but clean. Pool could be a bit warmer - I was hoping for a soak but it was not quite that kind of heat. But great for kids. Wifi was not good though. Not sure if that usual or only for the night I was there. Worth checking if this is important to you. Quiet and very scenic.

Pool was great!.

Loved the heated pool in winter! Only negative there wasn't enough parking and we had to park elsewhere when we got there as everyone was going out for dinner or the bar next door so when we checked in at 5pm there was no parking for us. We did move our car back later on that evening when space freed up

Clean and tidy. Heated pool. Room was serviced daily with clean towels daily. All cooking utensils were provided. Full size and good quality soap, shampoo and moisturizer was provided which was nice.

Lovely position, right on lake front. Great spot to watch the sunset. Two bedrooms - lovely comfy beds. Enjoyed our stay, everything there we needed and room was clean. However motel was dated, in need of renovation/decorating. Bathroom needed better lighting. Love Taupo and would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location, clean rooms, super easy stay!

The room was very dark and dated, the couch was old and needed a deep clean. One of the bedrooms had a leak and we were moved to the Millennium. Staff were very kind and helpful. The heated pool was nice although the floor needed a vacuum.

I was quite disappointed with the overall experience. The property felt more like a campground than a hotel, and there was little to no staff presence even reception was unattended during the day. Our room swipe card failed to work almost daily, requiring constant replacements, which was both inconvenient and frustrating. The condition of the room was also below standard, with heavily stained carpet throughout. When we moved the coffee and dining tables, we discovered red stains that had clearly been concealed rather than cleaned. Given the reputation of the group, we had expected something more refined and memorable. The highlight of our stay was the view, and we sincerely appreciated the efforts of the housekeeping staff, who kept our room tidy throughout. However, the hotel overall is in serious need of refurbishment and service improvements if it is to align with the standard of the Millennium Hotel next door.

Millennium staff at checkin were great ans assissted kindly when no wifi information was available in room. Room however lacked any warm bedding in main bedroom- kids room had approproate bedding. No spares available. Room full of dust, no surfaces had been wiped down. Poorly maintained room cosmetically. Beds comfortable Couch comfortable Heating in lounge good however arrived to an oil heater on high wedged between 2 material chairs! Good views from lakeview room.

The staff next door was top notch (at sister hotel,) The room layout was fantastic. Here is the downside;; room was so moldy it was hard to breathe. No air in bedroom off to the side. But they did borrow us a fan for the night. The pool outside are door was so dirty around it and no where to sit unless you had a poolside room. Pool was not anything like the picture. We went to the local store to get an air sanitizer spray.. that did help. Suggestion would be to pull out all the carpet please at least for health reasons!!

It was a lovely setting being right in the lakefront but the room did not look like the pictures on the website and there was a weird smell to the room upon entering. A little bit old and outdated, the queen bed was on wheels so moved alot and the harmonies did not work - which is essential in taupo winter with -3 degree mornings! Outdoor spa and pool was lovely though - such a good temperature for winter!

Property is in poor condition no maintenance or decorating done in years....dirty...mould...broken items...dirty dishes...bathroom flooded, due to broken shower head ...drain slow to drain so water builds up. Spa not hot so not operating. Absolutely disgusted that you steal peoples money to stay here. No reception as its managed by neighboring property....manager there was lovely and tried his best to help. You could see he was clearly embarrassed. Has compalaints daily....yet you are allowed to keep trading....shamefull!

Stayed for 1 night. Room was pretty dusty. Great view of the lake though.

I wonder if booking on expedia and thus getting a discount, means you automatically get given the most basic room. There were other rooms available but I go one with the sign light shining through the curtains all night, plus the light shining through the glass panel in the door. Apart from that, the location is excellent, the room was clean and the staff were nice.

The floor was creaky.

Lovely position, right on lake front. Great spot to watch the sunset. Two bedrooms - lovely comfy beds. Enjoyed our stay, everything there we needed and room was clean. However motel was dated, in need of renovation/decorating. Bathroom needed better lighting. Love Taupo and would definitely stay here again.

Nice accommodation for families. Pillows uncomfortable and pull-out couch was painful to sit on when it’s just a couch..Needs a serious update! Very noisy, can hear people walking around and talking.

Cleanliness 10/10. Easy check in. However the walls between units are super thin so made going to sleep hard with the people next door up late. For the cost of the room compared to other hotels it was probably worth the money but next time i would stay somewhere with a bigger open plan room that was a bit quieter. If you feel the cold take extra blankets as there was only two very thin blankets on the bed.

We had a lake front unit which had a lovely view and I loved the sound of the water at night. Easy access/parking, staff lovely, love the use of the millennium pools. My only issue was that noise travels between units and a family across from us with a baby crying constantly during the night kept waking us up.

We'd booked a flat with lake view, and wow! Did it ever deliver! The flat itself was a bit run-down, but the view could not be beat, and more than made up for it. We made good use of the restaurant next door - they had a great breakfast spread, and a cozy bar with good food (best chicken tikka pizza I've ever had!), a great view and really amazing service. Oasis Beach Motel is located along a part of Lake Taupo where the beach is more stone than sand, so not entirely conductive for swimming, but it's right next to the promenade that takes you all the way down to the boat harbour, with several swimming options along the way.

Great spot. Retro feel. Old but clean. Pool could be a bit warmer - I was hoping for a soak but it was not quite that kind of heat. But great for kids. Wifi was not good though. Not sure if that usual or only for the night I was there. Worth checking if this is important to you. Quiet and very scenic.

The bed and pillows were terribly uncomfortable. The rooms could do with an update, but they were clean. There was a beautiful pool and you could order food or go to the restaurant next door, so that was handy.

We loved the lake view; the landscape and the environnement are increadible! The acces at the millenium facilities werer a big plus! We enjoyed the sauna and the pool everyday! There are two big issues that were very annoying for us... The bed are increadibly old and incorfotable! The mats are awfull. We had to sleep in the very little separated twin beds because the main bed hurted our back so much (I ended sleeping on the floor the first night...). My light little kid has been ok in it finally... The wifi is awfull too. It was more or less working one day on two... The staff is great and helpfull and try to help as much as they can... We enjoyed to walk on the long boardwalk 3 km trail and the beautifull sunset every night across our huge windows. The ducks were very friendly and fun to look at.

No people at reception. Place should be bull dozed and rebuild. The ratings on Expedia is misleading compared to other sites. Won't use Expedia again

Excellent receptionist and cleaners. Very welcoming and helpful.

Everything was excellent, staff were great and we enjoyed our stay.

We arrived at the property at 3 o’clock as advertised… unfortunately we had to wait for 2 hours before we could claim our unit.

Staff were exceptional, rooms alittle dated and needs an update, but would stay again.

Picked up access card from Millenium Hotel next door but it did not work so had to return to Millenium and get manager to come over with his master card before we could get in

Booked the hotel whilst attending a large public event. The booking I made stated payment was to be made at the hotel. I received a call advising if I didn’t make payment 2 days before they would cancel the room. I advised that I had planned to pay on arrival and the lady said “it’s because of people like you that we have to make these phone calls” and proceeded to advise that if I didn’t give my card number within the next 10 seconds she would cancel our booking. After taking my card number, she said that’s gone through and hung up on me. As for the room - positives first. It is positioned in an absolutely beautiful part with views of the Lake and very easy access with a balcony and table/chairs. The pool was really nice. Big pool and clean. The room however was disgraceful. I’ve been in 70 year old bach’s that are more modern and with better amenities. The shower didn’t have any pressure, the bedrooms were tiny with no extra blankets. Parking was an absolute nightmare and really challenging with a young baby. It was priced up there with some of the better hotels and I could have probably excused the dated decor and musky smell but the customer service was an absolute no no for me. If it wasn’t the global games and there were alternative options we would have gone ahead and cancelled. Understandably some translation is lost when using 3rd parties but some friendly explanation would have changed the whole experience. She even refused to give me her name. Never again

We wanted a family night away and we were looking forward to our stay. The photos on the site were better than actual place. Rooms were grotty and very dated. Our bedroom door wouldn’t shut, hairdryer broken and the potent aroma of a product to mask a musty smell was overpowering. Was not good for the allergies! The lady at reception was blunt to say the least (off putting) and rudely told me my payment wasn’t made…. I paid straight away and when I explained that I selected “pay at property’ on my booking I got told that I was wrong and that’s not their policy… well that’s the deal I did on the site so…. Made me feel pretty crap right from the start. My grand daughter was upset as she was so disappointed for her birthday treat. We all felt miserable and avoided being there as much as possible. So so gutted. We will NOT be returning. 😵‍💫😡. Feel a bit ripped off.

Awesome location right beside the lake front. Big and spacious, swimming pool, spa, friendly staff and good prices

Great location right on the lakefront.

The view is amazing as we stayed in the lakeside room. The service was excellent and the staff was extremely nice. The sleeping experience was perfect too with a very good mattress, pillows and blankets. I will absolutely book with this hotel again in the future.

The position to the town and lake

Great location

Perfect location right on the lake

Location on lake great.

Close to the lake

Wonderful location.

Great lake front location

Comfortable, clean, nice restaurant and great staff.

The best view, close to everything i will be back. Buffet Breakfast very basic next door, wouldnt pay $35 for it as you already have the view from.your room.

Nice properly Quiet Dining options

Great location near the lake. A little noisy during the night with strange sounds probably coming from the pipes and plumbing. Enjoyed a lovely drink at the Millennium hotel next door watching the sunset over the lake

We loved the facility and all it had to offer, we will be back for more holidays. It felt like a resort, we loved the pool and beautiful planting being right next to the beach. Great having restaurants and shop with in walking distance the perfect location.

We had a lovely stay at the Oasis. We had amazing views from our clean 2 bedroom unit. The front of house staff are really friendly and hospitable. We also appreciated the clean hot pool attached to this motel. An added bonus is that you get access to the next door hotels facilities as well- pools, restaurant, bar, grotto and sauna as well.

Older complex but all that wr required. Position right on the lake walkway was excellent. Great walk to coffee and food options. Very reasonably priced

The room ok and the Edgewater restaurant very good

We have always enjoyed staying at the Oasis Beach Resort. It is the perfect place for a short break, situated right next to the lake with a wonderful hot pool and spa. The Millenium hotel right next door also has a wonderful restaurant.
