The Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort, owned by Prime Value Asset Management and Shakespeare Property Group, has been recognised among Australia’s best accommodation providers at the 2024 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards.
The Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort was awarded Bronze in the 4-4.5 Star Deluxe Accommodation category at the awards ceremony, considered tourism’s ‘night of nights’, held on 21 March 2025 in Adelaide.
The award follows the Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort winning Gold at the 2024 Queensland Tourism Awards late last year, an endorsement which provided automatic entry into the 2024 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards.
The 4-4.5 Star Deluxe Accommodation Award is one of the most hotly contested categories, with many quality providers vying for acknowledgement.
Special thanks must go to General Manager, Shelly Cuthbertson, and the Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort team, along with hotel group Accor as our hotel management partners.
Special thanks also goes to Waiya Ho and Christopher Buzaglo from Shakespeare for their leadership and passion, and the entire team at Shakespeare Property Group for their strong commitment to excellence in hotels management.
This recognition is a testament to their unwavering dedication, said Yak Yong Quek, CEO of Prime Value Asset Management and Shakespeare Property Group. “To be recognised at the prestigious Qantas Australian Tourism Awards is a great endorsement of the hard work Accor and our Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort team have put in to achieve a high level of service.
“This is an outstanding achievement given the strength and the breadth of competition in this accommodation category”, Quek said.
Shakespeare Property Group also manages several other quality hotel assets, including the Hotel Woolstore 1888 in Darling Harbour, Sydney, which was acquired during 2024, the Pullman Cairns International, the Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort, and Peppers Marysville.
