Hostel Travellers Oasis

You will call (free) 6 km away from the airport, shopping possibilities were in the mall in about 5 minutes. Walk. Excursions could be booked in the hotel's own travel agent, but as Cairns lives from the tourism, there are almost on every corner any providers. I actually found the tours in Australia not a bargain. Scott Street is, as I said, behind the shopping center with a huge foodcourt and numerous ATM and coles supermarket, about 30 minutes from the Esplanade (strandstraã'). Cairns has a than lagoon Strictly speaking pool (no charge), beach did not see any of that though as it is better, for example. To Port Douglas. As the hostel only for about 40 people is not held here, party, so it is very quiet and pleasant. In the pedestrian zone, the on the other side of the mall begins, it was often that loud, the police written for single step library. In the surrounding area is a Resto, whose name I know not sure, possibly Blue Kaktus.

The owners John and his Faktotum DJ from the NL were both above average friendly! I was so time in a backpackers hostel ripped off, as I didn't want to comparison with those in South Africa. The Travellers Oasis beats the hostels in South Africa Various gaming machines!!! John only spoke English, DJ could also spoke dutch, but he no longer there (visa expired). Every afternoon for 3 AUD you can use the washing machine, washing powder for an extra money, there were also 3 AUD I think. Behind a building are numerous buildng & SPIDERS including brackets curious, so that everyone Applicants may lodge no more than it again. I booked it but didn't use. Because of the rainy season I Cancellations excursions, for example. To the Great Barrier Reef that needed to be canceled by the travel agent I asked John, 2 of the 4 nights to waive what was possible without a problem. We didn't have any complaints to the slightest occasion!

There are two extremely clean kitchens varying size with complimentary tea/coffee all day, stove and toaster, crockery and cutlery. Have a big fridge available, each traveller food and label eintüten (had tape all over and pen were prepared). You Also have to even the china wash up, why it is again the appropriate equipment. Because the owner and DJ to make sure, everything worked out unlike my experiences Südafrike a terrific! In addition there was a tray on one of the tables, where free spices and the same as well. Than gastronomy can clearly not but I think the kitchens earn it, to be assessed for.

The expansive grounds belongs to a pool (photos to follow), the magnificent is surrounded by plants. He should be used until 8pm. There is also on the property two covered Tropenhütten, if these rooms so hot, where you could smoke and together. Apparently was one of them equipped with an Internet Hotspot sat there always many young people backpacker with their laptops together. In the building I was, there was a small, but very cozy TV room with DVD-usage would be (rental at the reception, but I didn't use it).

I had booked a deluxe double room. In my prior to cleanliness polished building are the two Deluxeräume (21 and 22 ) as well as another room unknown amenities. To the Deluxe rooms has a huge veranda with table and chairs and hammock, each per room, but the veranda is shared. There was but not cause me any problems, since my neighbors were extremely nice. The room had a double bed with 2 Nachtkästen and lamps, a fridge, TV and DVD player. However, I fail watching as, first no interest and secondly I didn't know how to get the thing. I didn't ask for one. On the wall at the foot of the TV there were a few hangers. A small shelf would have been good, but so what. The towels on the bed were as animals shaped, which reminded me of Egypt. The three rooms shared a shower, a laundry room and a toilet. soap had to be brought by ourselves. These rooms also extremely clean and whenever I needed to go, they were free! Oh yeah, free you could use the ceiling fan, for a nominal fee the Klimakasten, with the pro rata use would have been possible (the hours stick to get away from it all and starts running at re-use away). The fan was enough. There was a safe at the front desk.

From about end of November to end of February is in Cairns rainy season. I have been to South Carolina/USA during the rainy season. There was all of a sudden to value of stored Wolkenbrüchen (sogennannte tropical storms), the as soon as they had come again stopped steamy soak in the sun and the streets were immediately dried again. The showers lasted max. An hour, rather shorter. Not so in Cairns, where every day about midnight so heavily rained all day from the Regenlärm I was woken up on the huge palm leaves. Tours had to be canceled, as guests otherwise Reling saying that "the" and the sea to very agitated for snorkeling. My Italian sandals weichten on and I had to throw away, what me amused. The above-mentioned mall also houses the train station, from which the Kuranda Scenic Railway leaves (expensive). But there is a bus in the same building, the for 8 AUD and back to Kuranda runs. The street through a mountainous landscape is also interesting. Kuranda I found drab, frankly. And expensive, for example there was also a Koalapark, for you 42 AUD admissions wanted extra photos of course. I found the Koalapark at Brisbane with 28 AUD admissions borderline. One just has to move the Reißleine anywhere. For a flip-flops they wanted 39 AUD, nee, not with me. Hard to find in the small Touristenkaff you the German Tucker, in the German expats a Würstchenbraterei (German beer) decorated. They gave me at my request a green salad, potato salad I wanted to eat in the heat. Highly recommended. I would have liked the open air part of smoke (in Queensland not possible in Sydney), I would have another beer is being consumed, but unfortunately ... On the main street of Cairns is located in the middle of the Irish pub O'Briens always packed. For amazing 10 AUD under huge and savory dishes at the counter select right incl. 1 drink (also VB beer or wine) on the front counter on presentation of Kassenzettels from the back counter, more beers cost but then 6 AUD. The open air section on the street there was an area where you drink and smoke and a second, where you can eat and drink. So we moved all constantly. Very enjoyable. Inside it was too loud for me, too cold, too dark.
