I can't fault this place. I stayed here for nearly 3 weeks and it felt like home. The staff are so helpful and friendly and know loads about the area (and can help advise which of the hundreds of tours is best for you). The place has a great vibe with really good facilities. You can easily just spend a... More

I stayed at Traveller's Oasis in February 2013 for 6 nights in a single private room. I simply couldn't fault my stay there. At 35 this was my first ever "hostel" experience and Helen and her wonderful team made it a brilliant one. I was in room 5, single bed, clean sheets, fridge, shelf, mirror, hanging rail, window and coin... More

I just got back to Canada after a one month trip around NZ and Aus. I have to say, after going from hostel to hostel for several weeks, Travellers Oasis was a great place to stay for a few days. The hostel was quite clean, and in a great setting. I stayed in both a three person dorm and in... More

Nice relaxing feel. Rooms clean and kitchens well equipped. Great travel shop, staff knew lots of trip options to suit your needs with competitive rates. Provided discounts in local bars and restaurants, with meals from $5AUS. Hostel located just outside the main strip of Cairns, but right next door to the main shopping centre with two supermarkets. About 15 mins... More

Lovely staff. Go out of their way to help you. Loved the Australian BBQ night. Get to try crocodile, kangaroo, emu and so on all in one go. Felt instantly at home here. Also superbly clean. Plus had my own bed, not a bunk so had a good week of sleep and met plenty of friendly people. Nice and quiet.... More

Room was clean and had fan and air conditioning and bathrooms were not too bad although shared... More

AMAZING hostel. Where do I begin........... Traveller's Oasis is a set of BEAUTIFUL wooden buildings surrounding a swimming pool, just like Swiss Chalets. I felt like I was staying at an expensive holiday resort than a backpackers! I paid $45 a night for my wonderful single room which was cheap compared to the cost of a private room in Cairns.... More
