Simply amazing

Review of Motel Oasis
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Apr 2015
This hotel is an absolute bargain. Located a 4 minute drive to the town centre it has everything we could ask for. Fresh milk and a drink on arrival, pool, laundry and push bikes all at our disposal. Room was large, bed was amazingly comfortable. Shower worked well! Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone travelling through Gisborne. Staff are warm and welcoming and nothing is too difficult. Thank you for having us

Oasis Motel is one of the nicest motels I've every stayed at. we were here for 3 nights and loved every minute of it. Modern spacious rooms with air conditioning and large bathrooms. The bed was a tad on the small and soft though.

The solar heated swimming pool was wonderful and immaculately clean. Unlimited free Wifi was a bonus, as was the wide range of Sky TV channels available.

We hadn't realised that the kitchenette in the room didn't have a sink, but were able to use the bathroom so not a biggie really.

The service from owners Kate and Hamish was exemplary. They have great local knowledge and are always willing to have a chat. We enjoyed ourselves so much that it felt like we were staying with friends.

A great value stay. I thoroughly recommend Oasis Motel to anyone and everyone.

Hi SB_Sheppard
Thank you so much for a wonderful review of Motel Oasis! Very high praise being ‘one of the nicest motels you’ve stayed at’, we are so happy about that! You will be pleased to know that we are presently upgrading all our beds and do have one that would suit you perfectly next time you stay – a firm King Size bed – we will be happy to make sure you get that next time!
Thank you for mentioning the great value – that is a very high priority for us and we are so glad you found that here.
It was an absolute pleasure to host you both, and we look forward to seeing you again next time you are in Gizzy!

We stayed here over christmas 2013. They had everything you would need for a family of 5. They kids went back and forth to the office choosing playstation 2 games. Between that and the pool the kids were happy. The service here was great would definitely stay here again. So close to the beach and not far from town. Rooms were clean and tidy. They had bikes to ride and a whole lot of other outdoor activities for families.

What a great place to stay, very warm and inviting. The staff are so friendly and helpful. On arrival we were greeted by Kate and Hamish who made us feel very welcome and were very informative about the sights of Gisborne, We had been travelling all day and I was so pleased when I found out we could order a home cooked meal to have in our room.
the food was well above our expectations. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable. The solar heated lap pool was great. We would highly recommend Motel Oasis and will definately stay there again. Rob & Lisa

We were warmly greeted on arrival and provided with a complimentary glass of red wine which was appreciated after a long day of driving. Our unit was clean & spacious, particularly the bathroom and was serviced every day. We were able to use laundry facilities free of charge. Would suggest a larger plunger coffee pot. Loved the fact that location was out of town only few minutes drive. Owners welcome kids and pets. Owners provide great service. Thanks very much for your efforts.

Room tip: All rooms on ground level.

The Oasis Motel is about 5 minutes drive from the centre of Gisborne on the Northern outskirts of the town. We two stayed here for two nights in March 2015 and were struck by the friendly and very helpful welcome, including several telephone calls to find us a late restaurant.
Our studio apartment was very well furnished in modern style, including a Playstation and large TV aimed at the bed - no sofa, but table and two comfortable dining chairs. There is a capsule coffee machine with two complimentary capsules, as well as the usual tea, coffee and chocolate sachets. Extra capsules can be purchased at reception, where they also have a huge library of DVDs. The bathroom includes a two-person spa bath (works well) with shower over. All better than average in this price bracket.
Wifi (complimentary) was stronger and faster than we have experienced anywhere - even at home!
