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. Tim was friendly and accommodating upon our arrival and helped us choose a tour to the Barrier Reef. The hostel has a relaxed and social atmosphere. They make an effort to recycle and reduce energy use etc. Overall one of the better hostels I've stayed in in Australia.

Situated in Airlie Beach, Bounce Airlie Beach has a garden, shared lounge, bar, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is set 4.3 km from Whitsunday Art Gallery. The accommodation features evening entertainment and a shared kitchen.

At the hostel, the rooms include air conditioning and a shared bathroom. Had an awesome stay at Bounce! 🙌 The place is super clean, well-kept, and the facilities are spot on, definitely some of the best standards I’ve seen in a hostel. There’s a really friendly vibe here, everyone gets along and it just makes it so easy to meet people and feel at home. The staff are next-level, not just friendly but genuinely helpful and accommodating. Big shoutout to Nail and Sharlene, after chatting with them I actually decided to switch over to the long-term options, and I’m so glad I did. Honestly, if you’re looking for a place that’s clean, social, and run by a great team, Bounce is the way to go! 🎉
