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'.

Best hostel in Cairns. Feels very homely and cosy, and you can tell it’s well looked after. Very welcoming staff, super clean and lovely vibes. Will be returning when I’m next in Cairns for sure!!

We had a great time staying here when in Cairns. Tim went above and beyond to help us change our booking dates, book tours and even lent me a snorkel for one of them. The hostel has a lovely homely feel with good facilities including two kitchens. There is wifi in the common areas but unfortunately this did not extend to our room. There are also no plug sockets by the beds which could make it a bit tricky to charge devices at night.

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. Tim was so kind and couldn’t be more helpful.
Very laid back backpacker vibe with a few long term stays too
