    Great hostel, really peaceful environment. The location is perfect, a bit out of town but close enough to fully enjoy Cairns. Thanks to the amazing staff, my friend and I loved our stay at Dreamtime!

    This property was insanely amazing! Definitely not what we expected at all. Vaughan is such a great host who has put his whole heart and soul into the property and it shows. You feel like you're in the middle of a jungle bungalow. I have no words. Thank you Vaughan!! Can't wait to come back and hear some more of your jokes. Peace. 🤘

    Lovely welcome from our great host Peter, provided some very useful local guidance and managed to check us into our room slightly earlier. Relaxed, quiet feel, well maintained with great facilities, utilised the big smart TV to watch the Euros football and the pool was lovely and refreshing.

    Lovely hostel. Our room was spacious, clean and the aircon was strong. Peter is a great host and booked us onto the Reef Experience tour which I would highly recommend! Walking distance from Cairns Central shopping centre and the Esplanade.
