If all hostels were like this I would never stay at anyplace other than a hostel. You start to relax once you enter the property due to the helpful staff and tropical grounds. The owner helped set up a dive trip I was interested in and provided me with towels to take aboard that I needed to bring. The room while not large was very comfortable and the bathroom and kitchen areas were always clean indicating that the other guests were being respectful of the rules. The common areas is very comfortable and great to chill and hangout at. They also have washers and dryers and a nice pool to relax by.

I didn't stay longer

1. Both the front desk and the staff are very friendly. Kathy will help solve the demands you put forward. There is a very nice young lady at the front desk. When you don't know the place, she will take you there in person. A slightly older staff member sees that you are going downstairs to check out and helps take the luggage down the stairs. It makes people feel very warm here. 2. The rooms, toilets and kitchens are tidied up very cleanly. 3. This accommodation is arranged very warmly. 4. The check-in and check-out processes are arranged in an orderly manner and you can handle them by yourself. 5. The bed and the quilt are comfortable to sleep in.

1. There may be very small ants coming into the room. Be careful not to leave sweet things uncovered and placed, which will attract more. 2. 2. Pay attention to the battery power of the safe. If there is no power, it won't be able to be opened. If it can't be opened, go to the front desk. They will definitely help you deal with it. 3. The room is not soundproof. If you have prepared sleep earplugs yourself, there will be no impact at all. 4.The door of Room 5 is difficult to close.

Charismatic backpackers, clean room, good location but it is a 10-15 min walk into town. Supermarket and shopping centre around the corner, though.

Broken door (didn't lock). Fixed it myself with an improvised solution but it needs a new lock. Biggest issue is the bathroom situation. It's a charming old house which comes with just a few bathrooms. That makes you constantly looking for a vacant bathroom, especially during peak times. If everyone has a shower in the morning you are screwed. Separate toilets would make it much more comfortable.

The whole experience of staying at Traveller's Oasis was brilliant. I've stayed in many hostels over the years and this is hands down the best one. As soon as you walk through the gate there is a whole host of fun artwork and things to look at, and the gorgeous pool is a very welcoming sight in the heat! There is a relaxed and welcoming ambience that is hard to create but it feels effortless here, and we wish we could have stayed longer. The facilities are clean and well-equipped, and the outdoor rain shower is an absolute must! Great location near a Woolies and also close to the departure point for the Karunda scenic railway which was ideal. Couldn't recommend staying here more!

Nothing!

Staff were really sweet and Kathy helped me with my queries and booking for certified diving at the Great Barrier Reef. The common spaces were clean and tidy and there were 3 kitchens that could be used if any one of them was occupied. They had all the necessary cooking equipment except a rice cooker but that's not too big a deal. Overall, very clean in all the spaces - rooms, toilets. The bed and blankets were really comfortable and the fan speed made the room cool enough that air-conditioning wasn't needed. Traveller's Oasis is also really close to Cairn's Central (5 min walk), a shopping mall where you can find Woolsworth and Coles if you want to get groceries. I would return again if I'm ever back in Cairns :)

Some of the toilets had sinks that were a little small which made it a little hard to wash up without getting water everywhere. Everything else was great :)

I have never stayed in a better hostel than this one. Everything is just perfect - the organization, the cleanliness, the comfort, the facilities (pool, several kitchens and communal areas, amazing outdoor showers, yoga lawn, laundry), the dorms (lots of space and places to put your stuff, super comfy beds), the check in and out processes, etc. The owners are always there and looking out for you with whatever you may need. This makes it really special and you don t feel like staying in a typical hostel but rather with family and friends. I loved that there are several houses with kitchen, bathrooms and only a few doorms each and the to the needs designed and carefully selected and decorated outdoor areas. I was sad to leave after only 2 nights! Thank you for making my stay so very much enjoyable!

All was great! The place, the garden, the people, the location. We traveled with a 7-year old and were not sure if this will be a right place for us, but definitely it was the right place. We felt there very well. What is especially worth to mention is the cleanliness. They really paid attention to that and you can see the staff taking care of this place a lot. There is also a lot of space to rest, to make a meal (several kitchens) and that's also a big advantage of Traveler's Oasis. You can also meet there very interesting people, which we did :)

All was good.

A gorgeous hostel in a great location. Felt really homely and generally there is a nice social but chill vibe. Staff where great and the whole place is maintained beautifully with lots of good facilities. One of my favourite hostels on the whole east coast by miles and I made some great friends here!

Lots of people are getting up early for tours so bear that in mind if you like to party all night and sleep all day go somewhere else! However its good if you are doing lots of tours. A few shelves for clothes in the bathrooms would have been helpful and also having to pay for air con was a pain as you had to have dollar coins and then also hope you had good room mates that would share the cost! But the good points of the hostel outweigh the bad.

Best hostel we stayed in in Australia. Immaculately clean, well equipped and well cared for. Our deluxe room was comfortable and nicely decorated with a lovely balcony with table and chairs and a hammock.The shared bathrooms were next door, clean and in good condition. Kathy, the owner, oversees it all brilliantly and was really nice too, and the staff were great. We felt like we'd stayed somewhere really good here and stayed 4 nihhts but could easily have stayed longer. It's right across the road from the main bus and train station and mall and 10-15 minutes from the lagoon. Nice little pool area too.

Nothing, great place to stay. Felt very homely.

This is a great property in Cairns and a short walk away from the Fleet Terminal, the Promenade, the lagoon. It has been maintained very well and despite the toilets being shared, I never once found them to be unclean. The rooms were good too with enough room to keep/hang things and I met some very nice people here.

I think the only problem is that at a busy time, the bathrooms can get occupied. So plan your bath time accordingly. They also don’t provide body wash so be sure to get that with you. Also, the area a little far from the hostel can get a bit sketchy at night so be careful when walking there.
