The Oasis is well-named; it is a lovely place to stay in Balmain, very comfortable, with a great outlook, and extremely well located, just a short walk from the ferry, buses, cafes, restaurants, and shops. The it offers parking and is pet-friendly are fantastic added bonuses. Lizzy and Neil are warm and friendly hosts too. We enjoyed our stay and will be back.

From the moment we arrived we were enveloped in warmth and welcome. And then we saw the room...a beautiful space with a deck and a view of the harbour. And every need was taken care of - fresh bread for breakfast, home made compote and yogurt, orange juice, coffee....a very lovely neighbourhood of 19th century cottages, plentiful cafes and restaurants and a short ferry ride to the Opera House. You can't ask for more.

Elizabeth and Neil we're very welcoming and provided everything to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The B&B was spacious, sorry and had great views with a lovely little balcony too sit with shade of the trees. The location was perfect for us with many ships and restaurants locally and only a short walk to the ferry stop. The buses also ran regularly so all in all it was a great stay.

Great stay in Balmain

Elisabeth and Neil are excellent hosts of a very comfortable, spotlessly clean property in a fantastic location with its own view from the deck - close to ferries, buses, pubs, parks and cafes and with a parking spot.

We had a terrific stay with Elisabeth and Neil and would recommend An Oasis for lots of reasons: wonderful hosts who made us feel so welcome and who genuinely understand the meaning of hospitality, great location close to restaurants and shops, very comfortable accommodation, and terrific spaces for doggies nearby. We hope to return!
