Totally opposite to what I thought it was going to be. Very professional staff and clean with all facilities. Best night sleep for two nights even though I was in a 10 bed dorm. The only fault I can say is there were no chairs in dorm and because I was on second bunk it made it a bit hard to put shoes on. Besides that 10/10.

This was one of my favourite resorts in the Yasawa islands. Best menu, nice beach, and the staff was nice. The snorkeling was great! Schools of fish ten yards in! The garden bure was lovely and close to the water.

Alice's Secret Travellers Inn

Welcome to Alice's Secret Travellers Inn; a quiet green little oasis not far off the centre of Alice Springs. Being the smallest, we pride ourselves on our cleanliness and friendliness, and we are happy to give you that extra bit of attention you will miss in the bigger places. We offer air-conditioned accommodation in funky themed private and dormitory rooms. All include bed linen and access to shared bathroom facilities. This hostel is the perfect spot to get ready for your outback adventure (ask for specials) or to relax and recover after it. The beautiful, lovingly decorated garden is featured by an outdoor swimming pool, the fully equipped kitchen and free BBQ facilities give you the opportunity to cook and sit with fellow guests and the shared TV lounge and the book city are two comfy hideaways to chill, even on a rainy day. We love to keep it interesting! That’s why we’re always working on little projects to maintain and improve our little ‘home away from home’ for our guests!

Good service, cute accommodation

Reviewed By ejm84

I'll start by saying that our hostel/backpacker days are well and truly behind us, and we booked here because it was the only accommodation available in Alice Springs for the night we needed somewhere to stay. At the risk of sounding like a snob, the mere mention of "shared bathroom" makes my skin crawl, but the bathroom here (the womens, anyway) was actually pretty good. That said, there is one female toilet and two showers for the entire facility which is nowhere near enough - we were lucky to be staying on a night where the place probably wasn't even half full (the lovely lady who checked us in even said they were quiet that night), because even with so few people staying I had to wait for the toilet every single time I went to use it, as well as the shower on the morning of departure. I hate to think what it would be like if the place was busier or full! Parking was no hassle, however this is also purely because so few people were staying there. It's basically a first in, best dressed policy for parking - strictly subject to availability and there is only enough space for maybe 10 cars and even that is depending on how big the other vehicles are. Given that the crime rate in Alice Springs is off the charts, I would've been furious if I'd had to park on the street. As it is, you have to leave a slip on your dashboard with your phone number on it in case someone needs to ring you at any hour of the day/night so you can move your car for them. Was not a fan of this at all; luckily it wasn't an issue the night we stayed and the fact that we were able to park securely earns an extra star for the review (even the expensive hotels like DoubleTree don't offer secure parking). We stayed in the little Seb's Alpine Hut, a tiny Swiss-themed wooden hut with a double bed, lamp and table and nothing more. It was clean, cute and cosy and adequate for a one-night stay. The mattress on the bed definitely needs replacing and I didn't get much sleep despite the whole place being peaceful and quiet. The grounds were very pretty which was a plus given the walk to the bathroom from the hut in the middle of the cold, wet night! Service was excellent, definitely no complaints in that respect.

Reviewed By annieod3

We had a wonderful time staying at Travellers Oasis in April. The place is really pretty, clean, with an abundance of facilities and feels like a family home. However the best thing about this hostel, are the owners! Gabe, Cathy and their daughter Poppy (and Dean) were so friendly and welcoming and could not do more for us! The best hostel we have stayed in yet!!

Fantastic lodge! Tom & Kev are terrific and so accommodating! They are pleasant to everyone and even though there are some disrespectful guests, they try their hardest to get them to pick up their act so it doesn't affect others. Bonnie the friendliest dog at reception is gorgeous ? and a bonus in my eyes ?. Highly recommend.

Honestly, one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The people who run this establishment are brilliant. Their happiness and their hospitality is infectious. Beautiful rooms, excellent kitchen and bathroom facilities. But…the friendliness is what I will tell my friends about. I can’t wait to be back there in two weeks. Thank you! Xx

Excellent experience

Reviewed By jemwedge89

Very glad we booked here as part of our honeymoon! The cabins are recently renovated, very spacious and super cute! Lovely grounds that made it feel like we were staying in a rainforest but right on the Main Street. The magnums pub was also one of the best in town and very fun. Was initially concerned about it might be noisy but we could hear a thing in our cabin. Very affordable too (importantly including the pub). Will be recommending to others.

We loved the place, also the culture and what kind of people it brings. The price range is attractive and hard to beat. We came in as a group of 4 and the needs are met. It might be a slight inconvenience carrying the load up but that's only a small heads up.
