About Dreamtime Hostel
Dreamtime is an award winning hostel with a difference. We offer travellers a safe, peaceful & cosy place to stay. We are not a party hostel.
We want all of our guests to get a great night's rest ahead of a day out exploring the Great Barrier Reef & Rainforest.
The Owners & Staff at Dreamtime have travelled the world. Our commitment to offering fellow travellers an awesome place to stay is at the heart of everything we do. Enjoy all the comforts & amenities of the present with the character & charm of this Queenslander from the past.
Our strong focus on providing a clean, eco-friendly and welcoming environment, makes Dreamtime the ideal base for travelers who want to explore all the beautiful things Cairns has to offer.
Our amazing reviews reflect what we are building here at Dreamtime & our commitment to travel & sustainability is unwavering. We compost our food waste, we are eradicating single use plastic, we recycle like the planet depends on it. We also LOVE Cairns and are happy to chat about the best things to do during your stay. Receive discounts on all tours that are booked with our knowledgable and entertaining team.
Dreamtime has successfully been welcoming guests since 1993, and when you walk through the gate you really feel like you've picked the right place to stay. One of our guests enjoyed their stay so much he got a Dreamtime tattoo! We really do make an impression on people!
We are designed for short-stay international travellers, and from experience, we have found that mature travellers over 60 & young families with children under 12 are not so well suited to our style of accommodation. We want to serve our guests to the best of our ability and do not want to disappoint anyone. Please bear this in mind.
