The only thing I can think of is that the plugs are in the middle of the room and not right at each bed. There’s also only one shower and toilet for upstairs so you might have to wait for your turn to use them.

This hostel feels like a real home rather than a sterile dorm for the masses. There’s lots of common areas that are well equipped and decorated, inviting you to spend time there. There’s 2 kitchens that are fully equipped and clean. The rooms are very cosy and everyone has their own single bed. With all the windows and the fans you don’t even need the AC. The bathrooms are clean and spacious. Late check-in was super easy as well.

Really unique hostel with a calm and quiet vibe. Good location in the city and the staff are so helpful at recommending things to do and going out of their way to help. Would love to go back and definitely recommend to anyone staying in cairns. Comfy beds, large number of washrooms/toilets etc.

Very homely

This is not specific to this property, as it’s often the case with hotels, because they offer kitchens etc, it can be messy when people aren’t tidying up after themselves. But I think the owners did their best!

The ambiance and the people. It has such a calming vibe compared to some of the party centric hostels in Cairns. It attracted like minded individuals.

Great host and lovely atmosphere, very clean and the pool was great to have on those warm days. Slept really well here!

The plug sockets in the bedrooms weren’t near the rooms so I had to charge my portable charger up then have that by the bed for alarms etc. The extension lead also could not fit all five girls adaptors.

The whole feel of Dreamtime is exactly how the name implies, a dream. It was small enough to be a home away from home but big enough to allow socialising on an evening. The pool was lovely and cool after the hot days.

Some plugs by the beds would be great. There's one main set of plugs in the middle of the room that everyone's has to share, so make sure to bring an adapter. But honestly it wasn't a big deal at all!!

This is an absolutely beautiful hostel. You feel like you’re staying in the trees. The staff there are lovely, Tim, the owner, is so helpful with booking tours and helping to organise an extension on your stay when you inevitably decide you can’t leave just yet! The kitchen has lots of utensils and everything you’d need. There is hobs, a microwave and an air fryer for cooking. No oven, but I didn’t feel I needed it because of the air fryer. The kitchen was clean, people were very respectful with doing their washing up and cleaning up after themselves. The bathrooms were also clean, there were 3 showers dotted across the hostel so usually you can find one to use even when it’s during busy times in the morning or evening. The toilets are separate, so you don’t need to worry about all of the bathrooms being taken up by people showering. The outside area is such a lovely environment. There is a BBQ area, lots of areas to relax and chill out. A very cute little pool that is open until 9pm. The staff often play gentle quiet music during the day around the pool, which just makes the space feel even nicer. The rooms themselves are so adorable. I stayed in both the 5 bed and the 4 bed dorm on different occasions and both are lovely. The girls I shared with were fun and welcoming, it felt like a very cute girly experience sharing a room with them. There are no bunkbeds so it feels really spacious. People are quiet and respectful with noise. This is the perfect place to stay if you’re like me and didn’t want to be in a party hostel but still like the idea of meeting friendly people. I made 5/6 new friends here, which made the whole experience even more fun, but you can also quite happily exist on the solo, and everyone will be friendly either way! I would highly recommend staying here, don’t look any further!! I would come back in a heartbeat!!! Thanks for a great stay Tim!! :)

The only thing is having to pay for air con, but the room wasn’t too bad with just a fan anyway so not a big deal

This was the best hostel we stayed in in Australia! The staff were great, really helpful and always around to ask any questions, the room was really nice and very comfortable, kitchens were well equipped and plenty of bathrooms. There was so many common areas to sit and relax which was so nice, they hadn’t crammed in too many rooms so it just felt really peaceful and relaxing to stay

The door to the toilet, which opened up into the kitchen would not stay closed unless locked; one should always be able to close the door to the toilet even when not in use.

I thougt it was a very cosy plaze - almost like a treehouse hidden away in a modern city. When I arrived they had upgraded me to a single room for which I am forever grateful. The room was small, but it was so nice to have a space for myself.

It could’ve been a bit cleaner, especially the shared bathrooms, but that’s mostly the fault of other travellers!

Great location, nice atmosphere, helpful staff, a lot of kitchen equipment, nice small pool

No changes - I like it the way it is.

Backpackers with choice of dorm or own room. Great central location and fantastic ambience. Fellow travellers are quiet and friendly. This is third time I’ve stayed and never disappointed. Also best coffee shop in Cairns is just a minute away!
