Why it's worth checking out
Travellers Oasis sits on Scott Street near the centre of Cairns, in tropical north Queensland. A well-regarded backpacker stay, it offers relaxed, affordable accommodation in a convenient location — the kind of welcoming, sociable spot, popular with travellers, that makes a great base for exploring Cairns and the wider tropical north.
The appeal is that combination of comfortable, affordable accommodation, a friendly, sociable atmosphere and a handy location close to the city and its attractions, ideal for backpackers, budget travellers and anyone wanting a relaxed, well-located base for exploring Cairns, the reef and the rainforest. The strong rating speaks to a place that delivers value and a genuine sense of welcome.
With a 4.7 rating from more than 500 reviews, it's clearly delivering for its guests. Room types, rates, facilities and availability vary with the season, and a popular, well-located stay books out over peak periods, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly ahead — particularly if you're travelling at a busy time or want a specific room type for your stay in Cairns.
