Franz Josef Oasis

Tucked inside Franz Josef Glacier National Park, Franz Josef Oasis sits in the village of Franz Josef — minutes from Te Wahipounamu and Lake Mapourika and about a 10-minute drive to the glacier itself. Westcoast Wildlife Centre and the Waiho Hot Tubs are roughly 5 km away, making this an ideal base for exploring the West Coast.

An intimate, lodge-style hotel with a terrace, garden and a cozy lobby fireplace. Rooms are air-conditioned and simple but polished, with flat-screen TVs, coffee/tea makers and private bathrooms stocked with complimentary toiletries and hair dryers; some rooms offer fireplaces, pillowtop beds, refrigerators and laptop-compatible safes. Daily housekeeping, an elevator, on-site shopping and multilingual staff (English, Spanish, Italian, French) keep stays easy.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi and free self-parking, plus express check-in/check-out and tour/ticket assistance to book glacier walks and local excursions. Relax in the garden or on the terrace and wake up to crisp alpine air and mountain views.

An on-site restaurant and bar serve meals with garden views and alfresco options when the weather allows. A complimentary continental breakfast is offered daily from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM to kick off your day of adventure.
