Such a lovely hostel, with so many personal touches. I had s great time there.

Owners personal touch is felt throughout the property

Aircon to pay separately. Owner can be a bit confusing about leaving the place after 14:00, but maybe she should make it more clear that you can leave your bag in the storage.

Nice garden, good kitchens, clean, no overcrowded rooms.

Lovely decore

Does feel like a rush to get you out the property which is understandable but can put a bad taste in your mouth

Really nice vibe to it, clean, cute and cosy

The rooms are tiny! There is no space to put your luggage. Only very small boards at the walls next to the beds to put some stuff but definitely not enough place! No lockers, just very tiny safes. No curtains or lights at your bed. Could easily be improved with more boards / hangers and maybe curtains and lights! Same goes for bathrooms.. absolutely nowhere to put your stuff.. why not just install 2-3 boards in every bathroom? Takes no time at all, doesn't cost much, but improves the bathrooms a lot! Aircon at extra costs.. is mentioned in every second review of the place. It's not about the cost, it's just inconvenient. In the heat and humidity of Cairns there's really no other option than using aircon if you're staying in a 3square metre room with three other people.. Just charge 1$ more per person/night and install a timer (without the payment system), so that aircons turn off after the set time.. same effect on saving energy as with the coins.. Housekeeping starts at 9am.. so don't expect to be able to sleep in very long. Maybe only start at that time with rooms where nobody is in bed anymore.. Not enough toilets close to your room.. was okay, but often a bit of a wait or checking 2-3 bathrooms.

Great communal areas!! Definitely the most beautiful ones I've seen in any hostel in Australia, very inviting to hang out at the pool or kitchen area, easy to get in contact with other travellers or just chill in one of the hammocks. Free sunscreen and mosquito repellent. Directly next to the Greyhound bus station, only short walk to the Esplanade. You can easily do everything by walking. Great cafe very close by (and co coffee). Easy after-hours check in. Very clean (just the bathroom floor is always wet). Free towels and pool towels. Overall great relaxed atmosphere - it's not a party hostel but still a social hostel, there are not so many hostels which manage to achieve the one without the other. And if you want to party there is still enough opportunity in Cairns. I would certainly stay here again, but there's definitely some room for improvement:

The only thing I’d say is to have another toilet by the upstairs rooms (if i’m being picky) and also to not have to pay for aircon as I think it should be included really, but other than that I loved everything

It was very chilled out vibe which was perfect for the end of traveling the east coast. My private room had a fridge which was so helpful and a TV which was nice. Comfy bed too. Staff were lovely, always friendly and around keeping the hostel clean. Also a really pretty hostel with all the lights and lanterns etc, felt very comfortable there

Everything was clean and you could see the love put into decorating.

Staff was very helpful with recommending snorkeling tours and got me into an scuba diving session that was actually fully booked. They were also understanding when I checked out late because I got stuck in a phone call.

The hostel is quite busy so have to be patient with using the toilets / showers but there are quite a few so you don’t have to wait for long

The hostel has such a wonderful atmosphere, a home away from home! The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the chill out areas are perfect after long days exploring the reef/rainforest! The outdoor shower, that felt like you were in the jungle, was a particular highlight!

I found Kathy in reception friendly and helpful. She's made my stay in oasis comfortable. All staff worked extremely hard. Highly recommend the place.

It’s a little far from everything. You have to pay extra for aircon which I think is a bit crazy. There’s nowhere near enough bathrooms for people - we had one toilet on our whole block, which was not enough and it meant big queues and long wait times which is super inconvenient if you have a tour or something and are in a rush to get ready.

Gorgeous property, nice rooms, nice people, lovely set up with lots of little kitchens for each block etc - it was very cute and felt very safe. Staff were great.

Some ants but this was a minor issue - overall amazing stay!!

Staff were super accommodating - I went back many times to the reception asking for help with the AC and other issues and they were always super patient!!

A small remark; the bed mattress was really old, and pre formed. I think it's time for a new mattress in room 13 ! ;)

Outdoor shower, swimming pool, free bikes and towels, .... Amazing hostel!

Stayed in March 2024

Everything was perfect

This was definitely one of the nicest hostels i have ever stayed at. The staff is very friendly and kind, very helpfull for activities and all questions. The pool is nice, the name oasis definitely does the area right, awesome outdoor shower as well!

Nothing really!

Such a cute hostel! Lots of lovely details. Three kitchens and loads of bathrooms. Cute spaces to chill everywhere and comfi beds. Close to the city and luggage storage on the day of checkout.

To reach the bathroom from our room we always had to pass parts without a roof - since we travelled in the wet season we almost always got wet there. The staff was not very friendly.

A lot of cozy common areas, nice pool and three well equipped kitchen. Rooms were spacious and you could get extra towels for reef tours or the pool for free. Overall we would recommend staying there.

Paying a $ for the AC in the room felt cheap.

Really lovely hostel; chilled, really clean and great staff. 2 kitchen areas and plenty of communal space. Single room was perfect and TV with Netflix and added bonus
