I'm not surprised this place comes so high up the list of places to stay in Cairns. It is a perfect backpackers hostel. The best welcome we received anywhere with a full guided tour of all the facilities. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. The room was clean and comfortable with a good, quiet fan. There are really nice... More

I stayed three days in the hostel. It was one of the best hostel during my trip in Australia! The rooms and kitchens were clean and equipped with everything you need for cooking. The owner are very friendly and always ready to give suggestions about the activity in the area. One night they also organized a bbq party very nice!... More

Great location, loved the hostel. Very friendly and helpful staff. The guests are loud around the BBQ area. I complained once so it was taken care on that night. But I noticed the same every night while I was there for 7 nights. All drunk, smoking and loud..even at 2-3 am. I didn't bother to complain again.

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
