| Angela | USA | John, Kerrie and Helen are the best of the best. They make you feel like family. The place is beautiful and kept clean every single day. The best hostel I have ever been in and that speaks for 54 countries!!!! It's close to everything by a 15 min walk and it is in a very safe area. Just one block for the Central Shopping Center!! AWESOME! | Jul 29, 2011 |
| Sylvia Engels | The Netherlands | Really enjoyed our first night in Cairns at the travellers Oasis, very friendly staff and great room...would recommend it very much, and will defnatley return..... | Jul 20, 2011 |
| Guy Khmelnitsky | Israel | Hi John and Helen, It?s been over 2 months since I got back home to Israel, And almost 3 months since we met for less than a week, But as I?m figuring it out now, I really didn?t say an honest ?Thank You?, So here we go ? Thanks, you?ve been a great help with getting out of the shock I had landing in Australia, You helped me all the way with great deals and just moral support traveling and being spontaneous and unplanned. Anyways, Thanks so much, I wish there was I way I could return the favor. Know you have a friend in Israel Cheers Guy from Israel | Jul 11, 2011 |
| Amanda king | England | Hi all, Just wanted to send a quick note to thank you for a lovely stay at Traveller's Oasis. The accommodations were fantastic as was the service. It's so nice to stay in a place where people remember your name, we were shocked! John - thanks for great recommendations for things to do and great places to eat! We also met with a woman (unfortunately I don't think we got her name) who made a great recommendation for an 'On the Wallaby' tour and we had a postively fantastic time. Thanks again and we hope to be back in the future. Best, Amanda and Rob King | Jul 11, 2011 |
| Ciara and Alan | Ireland | Well, what can I say, Travellers Oasis is truly the most amazing hostel we have ever stayed in. The staff are the most friendly you will ever come across, they all go out of their way to help you with any questions or problems you may have. every body walks around with a smile from ear to ear which made us feel so welcome. We left a couple of days ago and are still talking about how much we would love to go back to Travllers Oasis. I would HIGHLY recommend staying in this hostel! Thanks for everything, we'll certainly be seeing you again soon! Love Ciara & Alan ; ) | Jun 21, 2011 |

| Patrick & Nadine | the World | Hello John, sorry, that we didn't contact you directly after our Ayers Rock Trip to tell you how amazing it was! The third time your advice was perfect and we had a awesome trip to the outback. Many, many thanks to you. Since 3 weeks we are now in Indonesia, having a good time here as well, and next week we will fly back home. We had a great time in australia, at the Travellers Oasis and specially at all places and trips you recommended to us. So we want to thank you one more time for your help, it was so comfortable and usefull for us to get your very good advices. We will recommend you and Travellers to everybody going to australia! :) Take care and enjoy life! Cheers, Patrick & Nadine | Apr 23, 2011 |
| Angela | United Kingdom - Portsmouth | I had to pop on here and write to say thank you to Helen and John for making my stay at Travellers Oasis so great! You guys were soo helpful :o) ... A fantastic hostel in a fantastic location with amazing staff - I will recommend you to all my friends! Keep up the good work guys! :o) | Apr 7, 2011 |
| Mattias Lindahl | Sweden | Hey Helen! Matt here. Thanks for pointing me in the Yongala direction! :) Will never forget that experience. Everything from the crew, hostel and diving was excellent. I didn't get to dive on Monday as planned, 'cause there were only two booked so we postponed it to Tuesday but that was actually perfect for me 'cause I had some equalization problems before.. the dives were perfect, weather conditions was perfect with calm water and shining sun. We had some surface current but I thought that only made the dives more memorable with a little challenge before you got down to the actual wreck, though there were some OW who had some problems, nothing too bad though.. Cyclone Yasi had cleared the wreck of many corals so you could see the haul and everything which they said you couldn't before. All the fish had returned since the cyclone though, there's so much to see that I even wrenched my neck on my second dive :) If you've dived on the GBR chances are you've seen the same sorts that's on Yongala, but on Yongala they're that much bigger! It's like all fish is on steroids! New species I saw for first time was a Marble Ray (you see it on the picture I attached chilling top of the wreck, picture size was big so I only attached one) and QLD Groper that was bigger than me! No sharks though :( Some things that could be nice to know if anyone else in interested in Yongala. If you get there the day before the dive it's a good idea to shop some dinner before arriving to Ayr, shops close early and when you get to the hostel there's no store around at all. They give you breakfast and BBQ lunch on the day you're diving. Also, right now they're looking for Divemaster Internships and the prereqs. were quite low, OW certification, 25 logged dives, 25 years or older, something like that. Arrived to Airlie tonight and going out on the 3day sailing on Kiana on Friday, weather seems nice so hope it'll be good :) Hope everything is good up in Cairns! Give my best to John :) Many thanks for helping me put my trip together, it's been exactly what I was hoping for and more! Much appreciated! Take care! Best regards, Matt | Apr 3, 2011 |

| Marco | California | John and Helen are an awesome team and I enjoyed working with them the time that I was there. Thanks for everything, guys! Travellers Oasis is such a nice hostel to stay at and would recommend it to anyone visiting Cairns! The bus even has a name, Penelope! A laidback and very chilled out place. | Mar 30, 2011 |
| Maria Ridewood | Canada | Had a wonderful wonderful time in Cairns and totally loved the Travellers Oasis! So Clean, So friendly, So peaceful! And Helen, John and Phillip were so nice an sooo helpful. If you need a place to stay in Cairns, this is THE place! | Mar 29, 2011 |
| Katriona Campbell | Scotland | Hi Helen & John, Sorry this is a bit late (stayed at the hostel in feb), just a short message to thank you for my wee route planner down the east coast, it worked a treat & I managed to fit in everything i wanted. A bit of feedback for you. As you said the oz bus was just hop on/ hop off & it worked out really well, made life a bit easier. The whitsundays 'adventurer' boat was amazing, nice & chilled, nice group number (12 of us), the crew were great & the food was delish, would definately recommend. The Fraser island trip was definately one of my highlights, was such a good laugh & especially loved driving the 4 wheel drive. I also stopped of at 1770, Noosa & Byron just to name a few but I had a brillliant time & met loads of folk. I cant think of anything else at the moment, i'm in n.z now which is just brilliant. Anyway keep up the good work guys, doing a brilliant job, I recommended you to a few of my pals too. Thanks again, Catriona Campbell | Mar 27, 2011 |
| sarah & katy | sheffield, England | We had a briliant time staying at travellers oasis, you guys have been so friendly and helpful organising our time in cairns. You all work so hard and it shows as the standard of the hostel is excellent. We will spread the word. | Mar 26, 2011 |
| ryan schulz | canada | staff were awesome and helpful. great place. great feel. would stay here again. | Mar 23, 2011 |
| Izzy | Israel | Thank you so much for everything. You were so nice and patient to all of my questions, that it made me feel bad to leave. Thank you so much. Maybe we will meet each other someday... And if not, be sure I'll remember you guys and I'll think about you as an example to how people should treat each other. Thank you... Izzy. (Israel | Mar 22, 2011 |
| Bridget | USA | I just wanted to write to let staff know that I had a wonderful stay at Travellers Oasis while I was in Cairns. It is such a nice hostel and everyone was super nice, plus staff offered great tour suggestions. I actually just left Cairns today, and as soon as I stepped off the plane in Brisbane I wanted to turn around and come back to Cairns/Travellers Oasis! I almost feel home sick and I was there for such a short time! Thank you so much for such a great stay! | Mar 14, 2011 |
