Arrived into Cairns by the Sunlander train and were able to walk to the hostel. Very convenient location! I had some email correspondence with Chris before we arrived and I was happy to hear that we were expected and the room was all set-up. Got our own towels each day AND since we decided to do a 2-day tour while... more

This hostel is like a home away from home. Lovely and clean decorated rooms. Even get your own towel, fridge in room, air conditioning!!! Chris was really helpful with tour advice and bookings!! Great location. Loved the cafe melt restaurant aswell!! Think its the best hostel I have ever stayed in. Only negative is maybe better internet facilities. Computers a... more

Enjoyed this place. The other reviews have it rigt. My only negative thought was that once I wasn't going to book anymore tours, the attention from staff was lighter. But with a place like this it doesn't matter. A great place to stay. more

Flew into Cairns airport and took the hotel pickup bus to Dreamtime. We arrived earlier than originally planned but the room was ready when we arrived and we got the keys straight away. We stayed in a double room for 4 nights and this was adequate. We shared the facilities with approx 10 other rooms but this wasn't a problem... more

Had a great time and manager Chris was incredibly helpful and thoughtful with arrangements Everything went really smoothly for both my parents (in their 60s) and my young children. Loved everything about our stay. Exotic Key West feel with lots of trees and plants in eating area and canopy shared with adjoining restaurant so you can eat without getting wet... more

As mentioned by other reviewers, we had a great experience with Chris who helped us organize our excursions. The free pickup from the airport was greatly appreciated. We stayed in the penthouse which was separated from the rest of the rooms. However, on our first night, we were woken up by people chatting and smoking outside our door on the... more

I had a single room which was gorgeous. Really nice decor and patio doors opening onto a verandah! All staff very friendly and helpful. I agree with other reviewers - Chris is great. Excellent location by railway station and huge shopping mall with 2 supermarkets, but in a pleasant leafy, mainly residential street. About 10-15 mins walk from Esplanade. The... more

We stayed two different nights here in August in a private room. The rooms were basic but comfortable. The walls are a bit thin, but once everyone fell asleep, it was quiet. It is not a party hostel, most of the guests were mid 20s or older. The washroom closest to our room could be better maintained, but the other... more

The service here was exceptional. The manager I dealt with, Chris, was very helpful on the phone before I arrived, and in person as well. He’s clearly passionate about Cairns and its visitors, has great local knowledge. It’s clear the owners are dedicated to running a great accommodation. The kitchen was really good – very useable. The whole place is... more
