The hostel is super clean and bedrooms comfortable. Stayed in a 3-bed dormitory and I felt like home. You can also feel that this place is so special that it creates a very calm ambiance amongst guests. There are different common areas/kitchens for each group of bedrooms. The hostel is located just beside the bus station and a commercial center where there is a supermarket and some stores open until 10 Pm.
Cairns
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.
As we are a small, independent hostel, our reception is open from 9.00am - 5.00pm.
Initially booked this hostel for three days, but the atmosphere was so wonderful and relaxing that I ended up staying for nearly a month. There are no bunk beds—just regular beds—so it feels much more comfortable. Almost every room has its own fridge, and there are plenty of bathrooms and kitchens available, the place also very clean which adds to overall comfort. The garden is incredibly peaceful; you might not even want to leave once you settle in. There’s also a cool common area on the second-floor balcony with a red sofa where I spent most of my time.
This is definitely not the typical party hostel full of loud drinking or drugs. Whenever I came in, people were meditating, doing yoga, reading, painting, or writing. If you’re looking for a party-all-night vibe, this may not be the place for you. The guests here have a different energy—more mature, quiet, and respectful. It’s also a very safe choice for solo female travelers.
Another unique aspect is that the owners are often at reception, which makes the place feel safer, and they address any issues immediately. However, if you’re a digital nomad, be aware that the internet can be spotty in some rooms—especially in rooms 6 and 7, where it doesn’t reach at all. Even a Telstra hotspot wasn’t sufficient there. The internet in room 19 was much better, and it’s very good in the common areas. But working in the common area during the summer without air conditioning can be tough due to the heat. In the winter, though, it could be a great environment for digital nomads. It might be even better if they added two or three small coworking or meeting areas in the garden—then it would be a digital nomad’s paradise. They’ve created an incredibly peaceful atmosphere overall. If you’re looking for a calm, relaxing place rather than a party hostel, this is a wonderful place to stay. If you visit Cairns, don’t bother looking anywhere else!

The property is set 1.2 km from Bulcock Beach, 14 km from Aussie World and 17 km from SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast Aquarium. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and free WiFi. It exceeded all my expectations. It didn't feel like a backpackers hotel at all. We were sharing a unit with 3 people. Had our own bathroom and kitchen/lounge area. Others were welcomed to use our unit facilities aswell, but with so small number of guest, it didn't happen often. And when they did, they were always really tidy and friendly. Small pool outside the unit, nice sitting area for morning coffee. All good for chatting with other guests. In the evening the outside area turned into a fairy wonderland, beautiful lighting.

I've stayed at a lot of hospitals in at least 10 countries and this was hands down the best one I've stayed at.
The staff is so nice and helpful, the included breakfast is really good, they give you free towels and blankets, they don't charge a key deposit, there's a pool, a gym, and comfy common areas. There's also a laundry room and detergent is included which is amazing!
The bathrooms are clean, the kitchen has lots of utensils and they have seasonings and oil accessible for everyone to use for cooking.
I stayed in the pods and it was extremely comfortable and private, with a dimmable light and charging ports. I love that you have storage in the pod right next to you so your stuff is completely safe at all times. The rooms had AC and lots of storage options for my stuff.

Love love love YHA Brisbane. I always stay here whenever I'm in the city. Very clean, safe and not crowded/loud. Facilities and amenities are very good and always clean. The staff are awesome. Great location and absolutely priceless view of the city from the roof top. They have a rooftop bar as well and the cafe at reception does a great coffee. Best Hostel in Brisbane.
The staff are lovely, great location, clean kitchen & rooms. All the people I’ve met here are super friendly. Best hostel I’ve stayed at in Brisbane (and I’ve been in almost all of them)
In addition to the great location of the hostel, I really enjoyed the kitchen and common area on the top level. It's a great way to connect with people throughout the hostel. They do make sure that the hostel stays safe, asking all backpackers not to bring guests or people from outside.
The staff were lovely. Great location. Good facilities. Seemed like a sound proof room. Safe environment and area.
This was the best hostel I’ve been so far. I stayed in the upstairs dorms which are very nice. With just 4/5 beds per room (not bunk beds for once). The building is not new but really nice with great vibes! Everybody was so chill…The common areas are great and the staff is awesome: thanks to Tim, Paul and Chelsea for what they do!
The staff is very friendly and they organise games and bbqs then is very easy to meet new people. Rooms have private bathroom and a/c. They have free basic breakfast and cheap bar in the evenings. They also have apartments if you need more privacy. The hostel is next to the tram station, in front of a coles express 24/7 and very close to domino pizza. There is free parking onsite and also you can park in the streets around.
Great location, just a short walk to the beach and lots of cafes/restaurants with takeaway places across the road. The room was great, lots of privacy with curtains all round your bed and met some lovely people as well. I only stayed one night but genuinely one of the best hostels I've stayed in recently.
A great place to stay for your trip to Agnes Water. Great location - a short walk from the beach and very nearby to the local shops and restaurants. Our private room was comfortable and had air con. The hostel chef cooks cheap dinners each night - we never took part but I thought it was a nice touch. Good social events each night. The staff are great and the guests are friendly. Lovely relaxed vibe. We felt right at home.
Felt safe as a girl arriving late. Lovely management with a bonus cute old cat to greet guests. For simple budget accommodation it's tops. Own balcony and bathroom for the cost of a backpackers room! I actually expected less and was so happy to have privacy! Not very sound proofed but that's okay. Thanks for the stay!
As a backpacker, one of the best hostels I've been to, the hostel itself is very welcoming and the people very close. I've been here for a month and a half and I've felt at home. It is great that breakfast is included and the kitchen is very large and clean, there is no space problem as it usually happens in other hostels. There is a bar in the hostel and the drinks are cheap, they also hold events in the hostel and it allows you to meet a lot of people. Would repeat again without a doubt!!
