Great layout for family of four. Spacious. Clean and tidy. Excellent pool facilities. Functional (nothing sheik about it). Excellent location. Negatives: rusty jug (couldn’t make children’s drink/bottle). Extremely low maintained. Aircon did not work - only remote, room was very hot without open windows and doors. Everything is very dated and old (the advertised pics look way better). Squeaky as floor boards under carpet! Check-in was at another hotel next door. They had a bin that was twice the size of a bin liner so it was kinda inconvenient using that (no point in a liner). The place feels very well used but the cleanliness was good as the standard stay. I recommend but not if you’re looking for something pretty

It is a lovely motel & the lake is right next to it, which is why we stayed there. Amazing to have an evening seat outside our apartment by the lake & also to wake up with the lake view through the window.

Staff didnt see me at reception as chatting to each other wity heads down. I had to inyerrupt them to check in. Indian man served me and coughed over everything including all over me and sniffed hard I could hear his boogers been sniffed up yuck!!!! Had to go to other hotel to check in so humbug. Was told to park one end but he booked us into the furtherest unit!!! Like why? Bonus heater was on when arrived though! Bed moves even when you go to get in bed or up to go to the loo very dangerous it goes flying! Toilet paper kept falling off the holder as its just hanging from wall ready to fall off unit 709. Close curtains at night as insects get throught loover windows. Close doors fast at night to or room will be full of insects as close to lake. Lovely views!!!!!!

Hotel California vibes when we arrived but turned into a lovely place to stay. Comfortable and spacious. Excellent view of the lake and surroundings. Private patio with table and chairs. Little beach just across recreational path. Quiet location. Friendly staff. Easy accessible parking. Just needs a little updating.

We had a lovely stay at the Oasis

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.
