Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Bianca S43 contributionsIt is so pleasant walking into Rusty’s Market. The smell of the fresh produce is amazing. There are many fresh produce options, as well as jewelry, food, dessert, and beverages. This market is delightful!Written 28 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

We had a lovely time walking through the gallery ways.Written 8 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Daniel C3 contributionsThere’s a seller there who sells printed designs (which likely don’t belong to him) onto glass panels. Extremely rude and entitled. Does not specify that you’re not supposed to touch the shelved products and he alone is meant to handle them, and yet when I was pointing out to him which I’d like to purchase he just walked off! Clearly he doesn’t want to sell them, so you shouldn’t buy them!Written 12 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kathe POakdale, CA60 contributionsWhat a great way to spend some time, whether you purchase anything or not. It is a wonderful “museum” of Aboriginal artist’s work. So many different styles and stories. And, yes, we brought home a treasure!Written 16 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tour0628506514829 contributionsI bought a beautiful pair of earrings. Everything well displayed for browsing with very pleasant staff. Certainly a destination in the heart of Cairns.Written 15 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kate BemroseCairns, Australia11 contributionsGreat shopping centre. I like visiting Big W and the fact that it has both Woolworths and Coles is a winner for me. The only down side is the crime. I've been robbed twice while visiting. A young boy ripped my handbag off my shoulders just the other day, and my car's been vandalised tool. I suppose this isn't the shopping centres fault.. But just a warning to anyone planning on visiting.Written 30 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Pacificwoman59Brisbane337 contributionsFantastic regional gallery which had great indigenous art on display when we were there. Beautiful gift shop which we couldn't resist and helpful staff that went out of their way to help us.Written 17 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- joan_uranSingapore242 contributionsWe came here a few times to get dinner. Prices are relatively reasonable and quality seems to be better than the night market fare. There were some empty shops that I didn't see open for business. Apart from restaurants, a food court on level 2, a shoe shop in level 1, it's sort of empty. Toilets on 2nd floor has graffiti which adds a pathetic, neglected vibe.Written 14 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Simon BCity of Greater Geelong, Australia4,157 contributionsOnly stumbled into Oceana as appeared a cool and shaded short cut toward Rusty’s market.
Mixed and interesting collection of shops fascinated and slowed our journey.
Hobbies, interests, music, fashions & eating options across a wide taste spectrum.
Lo and behold, suddenly we’ve bought a dress and headed on.Written 10 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I went back often before finally deciding I need the picture of the kangaroos on the beach! Just go in and enjoy the photos. There is no pressure to buy.Written 25 April 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MiyoshiCairns, Australia19 contributionsAmazing art gallery. If in Cairns be sure to drop in and check it out. Great diverse range of art available, and a really cool vibe. Aboriginal artists from all over Australia and local Cairns artists.
The artist Samuel is so talented and great to talk to :)
Don't miss the back exhibition room!
If you love art, you will love this place.Written 17 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Walked through and around Pier shopping complex many times.
Dined at handful of restaurants and enjoyed the scenic sea outlook.
Internally showed the sad tourist drought with many stores empty.
Better times ahead should find vendors because of terrific location.Written 7 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
