I loved my stay(s) at Travellers Oasis. The vibe is super chill, both staff and guests are nice, and the place is stunning. Very tropical, with a small pool and several kitchens. The outdoor shower is next level. The location is also great, close to centre and right next to the train station and Greyhound stop.

Really nice and tidy place close to everything you need! Nice and clean comfy rooms. Loved the bed and that the place is really quiet during the late hours. Kitchen is good and clean. Overall the place is well maintained and looked after. There's a small area outdoors in the back where you can relax or have a swim in the beautiful pool. The place feels safe and the front door is always locked. Peter and Tommy were really nice and helpful. Thank you for everything. We had a great stay!

Honestly the best hostel in Cairns. The staff there is super nice and welcoming And they always make sure the hostel is clean at all times. The general vibe there is great, so if youre a solo traveler its the perfect place to meet some new friends but also not a super party hostel so you can get your quiet times as well. Highly recommend!

The Night Manager was very helpful with the late check-in. I actually booked a wrong room type. However, he did changes to giving me a single room.

All hostels in Palm Cove

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
