| Barbara Grant | Canada | Hi John: Glenn and I made it home to Canada safely after a wonderful trip to Australia and NZ. We both just wanted to wish you and the rest of the staff a very Merry Christmas and once again thank you for all the help and recommendations you made to add to such a great holiday. We have 2000 pictures of memories. We can hardly believe how much we packed into the six weeks away. We did arrive home to snow and on Christmas eve here we are boasting the city in Canada with the most snow....but ?no worries? Santa will have no problem arriving here. All the best. Barbara and Glenn Grant PS My son was very proud of me for doing ?the dive?!! | Dec 28, 2009 |
| Helen | England | Thanks to everyone at Travellers Oasis! The best hostel I have stayed in :) | Dec 23, 2009 |
| Lucia Witzemann | Switzerland | Dear Travellers Oasis, I just got my glasses back and am totally happy about that. Thanks a lot for sending them to Katoomba and for everything. We are going to write something about you to Lonely Planet, no worries... Staying with you was really amazing and we want people to know that. And one other thing: We both love John! Sending you much love from the blue mountains Lucia and Philipp (the strange swiss guys) | Dec 20, 2009 |
| Paul Milton | Canada | I wanted to drop a quick email to thank you for looking into our credit card charges the other day. I know it was an odd request that took some time to research and I appreciate that it was looked into as quickly as it was. We had a great experience @ Travelers Oasis. Gabe did a great job getting us on the reef tour, hiring a car for us and showing us several places to go that we wouldn't have gone to otherwise. While at On the Wallaby, we saw a photo of Gabe w/ a rather large snake that had eaten a few days earlier. Recognized him from across the room! Anyways, thanks for running such a great hostel. We will definitely be back. Paul Milton & Christine Talianis | Dec 11, 2009 |
| Linda & Jeanne | The Netherlands | John, we looooooooooooove uuuuuuuuuuuuuu !!!! big kisses from the double dutch girls | Nov 20, 2009 |
| Greg And Fiona | Ireland | I CANT BELIEVE I AM CHECKING OUT OF THIS AMAZING HOSTEL TOMORROW. Life suddenly sucks. Ok it doesnt but this hostel is great. The atmosphere is amazing and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Here we learned to dive with pro dive and we got our PADI's (yes being Irish that is hilarious but moving on swiftly). When we first arrived we stayed in the YHA (boooooooooooooo) in Cairns which had fine rooms but the atmosphere there sucked so much ass. We were recommended Trav Oasis by a friend we met in Cape Trib and instantly fell in love with the place. Thanks for everything guys (especially John and Kathy) ye have helped make our short stay in Cairns a wonderful one. Slainte. Greg And Fi. | Nov 18, 2009 |
| Marco | Holland | Hee John, the beginning of November we stayed at travellers oasis and had an awesome time! We wanted to thank you again for the advice with booking our trips, last week we have been to the Whitsundays and the boat (Summertime) was fantastic! 16 nice people and 3 great crew! If people ask you for advice, we would advice this boat to people who want to enjoy a social time but not party'ing. This boat is really about seeing the whitsundays, diving, kayakking, but not partying, drinking 24 hours a day, 3 days long! We added some pics in the attachment, also a photo of travellers oasis which we have taken during our stay. Thanks again! Kind regards, Marco & Marloes | Nov 18, 2009 |
| Terry Ebzery | Australia | Hi Just a note to tell you I enjoyed staying at the oasis last week....see you when next I visit Cairns, Best Wishes Terry Ebzery | Nov 17, 2009 |
| Callum Newman | Australia | Recently my girlfriend and I stayed at Travellers Oasis and I just wanted to write and commend the excellent service we received from John and the high standard of the hostel. I've stayed in many and even worked in a few, and Travellers Oasis is up there with the best of them. Unfortunately I cant post a review anywhere as I booked directly through you, but thank you for making our holiday more enjoyable. | Nov 6, 2009 |
| Julie SEVELLEC | France | Hi John, I just would like to thank you again for our wonderfull week at Travellers Oasis!

| eve | France | This is Caroline and Eve, french girls ! we are in Brisbane? We were on Whitsunday island and fraser island and it was amazing. Emperior Wings was a great boat with a fantastic crew? The dives were awesome!!! Thank you for booking those trips for us! And for the moment, travelers oasis is the best backpackers we have seen and with the best staff ;-) See you! Caro and Eve | Oct 6, 2009 |
| Phil | Germany | If you are looking for a loud and packed hostel, this is not the one you wanna stay at. However, if you like to spend some nights in a beautiful, laid back hostel, this is your spot! I loved the athmosphere as well as the cleanliness of the hostel. Also, staff did a great job in advising and booking my tours (thanks Gabe!). This is actually not a place to stay - its a place to live! | Sep 25, 2009 |
| Indy and Ben | UK | Great place to stay...in fact I would go as far as to say the name of this hostel is the most fitting name ever!!! When you get here, ask for the Pegasus, her trusty partner in crime is the helles belles...and then there is their other compadre, roomraider aka may i read!!! To get ahead in this place give helles belles plenty of sour cream, she loves to bathe in it!!! Pegasus is more of a fan of bendy activities...massive flexiness. Just buy her a snooker cue and shes well happy!!!!! And there is roomraider, she absolutely adores stout and leprecahuns. If you are less than 5 foot tall and grissly, you will love this place and she will look after you!! The owners are class, and please dont read too much into any inuendos written above, truly great girls who look after you, and are managed by two great owners. Peace out!!! xx | Sep 7, 2009 |
| Alison | Enlgland | Travellers Oasis lives up to its name.It is a great place to stay, it feels very homely and the beds are very comfortable. John's warm reception is so welcoming and he's very helpful and accomodating booking tours, and his knowledge of all the different activities in the area is very extensive. I stayed for just over a week and would recommend it to everyone. I would say it is the best hostel I have ever stayed in and that's no exageration. Thanks for making my time in Oz unforgetable. | Sep 2, 2009 |
| Chris Goode | Wales | There's only one reason i stayed in Cairns for 7 months and that's because of Travellers Oasis and all The amazing people that run the place... there has been so many people who say this is the best hostel they have stayed at in Australia and i totally agree. Good luck to Travs, Trops, Gabe, Kathy, John, Anna (Peggy), Helen, Rager Jason and all the amazing guests.I will miss you all xx | Aug 31, 2009 |
| Hazel | Scotland | Some people say "theres no place like home" but when you stay at travellers your opinion will surely change... spent 3 lovely weeks at Travellers Oasis and it was wicked, from the spotlessly clean rooms, to the cleanest kitchen and shower rooms, certainly the best hostel i've stayed at during my year travelling australia. Then theres the staff who are an awesome team. Thanks for everything guys, hostel staff have extensive knowledge on where to go n what see etc, they'll look after all your bookings and make sure that your getting the best prices. see you on the flip side..... Hazel xx | Aug 31, 2009 |

Its clean, has all the facilities you could need and John in reception is brilliant he books all your tours and has good knowledge about each one. I would recommend this hostel to every person i know!!! 10 out of 10 !!! | Aug 24, 2009 |
| Andy Watson | England | Beautiful hostel, free tea & coffee nice decor and very homely. Good place to relax by the pool after the long haul up to Cairns.
