Hostelworld says

Dreamtime Traveller's Rest was rated #1 in Australia and #2 in Oceania at the 2011 Hoscars and it's not difficult to see why. This hostel has a cosy, relaxed and home-like atmosphere with a pool and BBQ area set in a tropical oasis. It's located across the road from Cairns Central railway station and shopping centre, about 15 minutes walk from the Esplanade and the lagoon. Hostelworld guests say the staff are 'really friendly, helpful and full of information' and that 'because the common area is so nice, it's easy to meet people hanging out there?.

Very Good

The place could be really nice. It was just incredible load. We were woken up early by the upstairs patio. And after the road noise kept us up together with the staff cleaning the kitchen which was right next to us. The place seems really nice and if it was quiet it would have been a fantastic stay. But being woken and kept awake for hours really didn't help.

Perfect location right across the street from the bus/train station, there was also free parking just outside. Staff was very friendly when we arrived. Didn’t get to use the common areas much but looked comfy and welcoming. Couldn’t recommend more.
