This is such a beautiful hostel in the heart of Cairns! Perfect location, just behind the main shopping mall, the pool and outdoor shower are a TREAT, and everything is spotless! I had such a comfortable stay here at Traveller's Oasis and will be coming back!

My partner and I stayed in a King Suite and it was so lovely, clean and comfortable with modern touches. The layout was spacious, practical and made sense. I loved that the hotel provided a "courtesy room" to use after check-out, as we wanted to take a shower and freshen up before heading to the airport. We did not dine at the hotel's restaurants, but they looked nice. Muddy's Cafe was just a short walk away from the hotel which we highly recommend! As for parking, it was AUD15/ day for secure underground parking or free parking right in front of the hotel. Housekeeping was tidy and very efficient. The pools were fantastic. We would stay here again if we came back to Cairns. Thanks to the lovely team who made our babymoon stay very memorable!

Beautiful place to stay, Peter the owner is very considerate and professional. The place is very calm and clean, I extended my stay twice, it's for sure one of the best hotel where I've been during two years of travel.

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful! The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Every detail was thoughtfully considered—there was a coffee machine, elegant cups, and wine glasses. The cleanliness was impeccable, and the view from the balcony was simply breathtaking. The rooms are also soundproof, ensuring a peaceful and relaxing stay. The hotel itself is stunning, with a luxurious and inviting atmosphere. Although we didn’t use the pool or try the breakfast, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

    Great location close to everything! The receptionists were all very friendly and very helpful. The environment is very cozy and throughout the stay was so comfortable and relaxing. I would like to give extra credits to the receptionists that helped to get back the toys my two year old son threw over the balcony to the property below us! We appreciated their help so much and we highly recommend them if you want to look for 5 stars accommodation in Cairns! 😊😊😊

    We are locals and come here often, the facilities and staff are always amazing. This time, they went above and beyond when I was unwell to ensure I was comfortable. Adriana at the front desk especially lovely. The only thing that could have been better was if the pool wasn’t so warm. apart from that, 5 stars as always!
