The Oasis Yurts in Wanaka were the highlight of our family holiday. Jo and Rusty were amazing hosts. The room was beautifully appointed with really comfortable beds. We used the free bikes and played some of the games they had available. The shared facilities were spotlessly clean and well thought out. We are still talking about our stay and wish it could have been longer.

Unique take on Wanaka accommodation

Cool place to stay with a family as it’s a little unique and the facilities for cooking are amazing. The location is close to Puzzlin World and about 5 min from the town centre by car. Owners are lovely and keen to get to know you and the log burners are a life saver in winter!

A True Oasis

Oasis lives up to its name. Six gorgeous and cozy yurts flank a well-equipped communal kitchen. Every aspect of this operation has been thought through to the last sustainable detail.

This accommodation was one of the highlights of our trip. The Yurts are clean and comfortable and the kitchen facilities have everything you could possibly need. It was so nice to have such a cozy, comfortable stay. They have bikes that you can use during your stay which made for a wonderful afternoon around Wanaka. Would highly recommend the Yurts to couples, families and friends!

Something different

Something different. Has most creature comforts. In my opinion the accommodation would suit young families best. They would have a ball. Not the best for seniors for obvious reasons.

Yurt stay

Great place with very friendly and helpful staff. Won't rent bikes but lend them! No en-suite but shower block and kitchen large, clean, and well-equipped. A couple of miles out of town, though. Massive room.

Very cute and cosy family room

The yurts are really clean, fresh and newly built. Nice and warm with the Dyson blow heater, the fireplace is also available for colder nights. Just a really beautiful property and location, walking distance to Mount Iron loop and Puzzling World. Comfortable ride into town, a lot of which is by bike path. Great staff, really enjoyable stay. It wasn't overly busy so the shared toilet wasn't a problem. The cooking facilities are amazing, multiple work stations and cook tops, heaps of utensils, cutlery and crockery, decent coffee and milk provided. Plenty of space for food storage too.

The property is a little out of town, but thanks to that, it has enough space to have a wonderful time with the family. As almost everyone staying there, we had a rental car to go into town, but decided to spend more time using the amenities. The Yurt was beautiful and super clean. Bed was comfy and bathroom modern and clean. Highly recommended if travelling to Wanaka and wanting to experience something new.

Wonderful stay

This is a great location - just outside of Wanaka. Facilities are beautiful and nicer than most hotels. Shared bathrooms but in great condition and not a problem to get into. Also has laundry facilities and anything you need for cooking or barbecuing. Fun alternative to a hotel.

Oasis is FABULOUS! Stayed 2 nights in one of their "family" yurts which had 2 Queen beds and a bunk above (as pictured) - SUPER comfortable, really nice amenities, the yurt itself is cozy and the bathroom facilities close by (and really nice). The whole place is about a year old so everything is lovely and new. The kitchen/common area is enormous with LOADS of space, sinks, cookers so even if every person staying in a Yurt was in there at the same time there would still be plenty of room. The extra touches like coffee beans, a grinder and plungers for fresh coffee (supplied) are amazing. Jo and Rusty have done an amazing job of creating a space that is peaceful, welcoming and a joy to stay in. Although I'd initially balked a little at the price, I can assure you it's worth every cent for a unique and very comfortable "home" in Wanaka.

My yurt was super clean and comfortable and fun to stay in! Staff was WONDERFUL- Libby helped us choose restaurants and was incredibly nice. The property is beautiful- landscaping is well maintained and you have a nice view of the sunrise. And it’s very quiet besides the occasional car that might drive by on the main road. Kitchen offers coffee and tea with enough space to accommodate all who might be staying on any given day. The little “downtown” area is not far at all - short drive away which is super convenient. The laundry facility is a little expensive but they are newer machines than all of the other places I’ve seen in NZ thus far. I highly recommend Oasis - if I returned to wanaka, I would stay here.
