Accommodation options at Travellers Oasis include spacious dormitory rooms along with private double, twin, and single rooms. Each room is furnished with fans, bed linen, towels, and a personal safety deposit box. Private rooms also feature a fridge stocked with complimentary600 ml water per guest, as well as a TV. Shared bathroom facilities are accessible to all guests, while air conditioning is available for an additional fee. I don’t really like hostels and sharing spaces as I’ve been in way too many at this point. Nevertheless this place is my favourite in Cairns, and probably in Australia too. Sharing kitchen is always clean, enough and clean bathrooms, superb staff, people really respects the rules, quiet at night and absolutely comfy beds. Makes me feel like in a little home.
