Hotel Description
Dreamtime is an award winning hostel with a difference. We offer travelers a safe peaceful & cozy 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 traveled the world. Our commitment to offering fellow travelers 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 travelers and from experience we have found that mature travelers over 60 & young families with children under 12 are not so well suited to our style of accommodations. We want to serve our guests to the best of our ability and do not want to disappoint anyone. Please bear this in mind. Standard Policies: As we are a small independent hostel our reception is open from 8.00am to 6.00pm. A valid passport is required for all guests. Late check-in's are ok. If you plan to arrive after 6pm please email or call us 2-3 days before you arrive with a screenshot of your passport and we will provide instructions on how to self-check-in. Email: [email protected] Phone: (07) 4000 0467 (between 8am - 6pm) We have a storage cupboard for luggage. If you need to hang around while you wait for your flight you are welcome to use our facilities. Also - there is an awesome cafe right next door to us. The coffee is amazing. We operate with a maximum 14-day stay policy in any 30 day period. Any bookings made to accumulate more than 14 days will be canceled. No shows will be charged the first night's accommodations. We have a pretty laid-back atmosphere at Dreamtime. However to maintain our chilled atmosphere we do not allow: Children under 12 years of age. If you are aged 60 or above you may be more comfortable in a hotel/motel with private facilities.

It is the best and...

Liked: The property is a wonderful little oasis in Cairns. The facilities are all in great condition and the bathrooms were cleaned all the time ( experience was way better and cleaner than in hostels if have been before). The location is great, right next to the Cairns central, Greyhound and only 20 min walk to the promenade.

Amazing! Will recommend and stay...

Liked: Very clean and cute. Love the shared kitchen and bathroom is adequate for the rooms in close proximity. Reception was already closed by 4pm but late check-in was very straightforward. Comfy bed and there was no need for air-con with ceiling fan and windows
Disliked: Would be nice to have a rubbish bin in the room but not a big issue for 2 night stay
