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. The beds were cozy, the shower I used had good pressure, there's a lovely vintage vibe, and there's an adorable pupper hanging around!

At the hostel, the rooms include air conditioning and a shared bathroom. Bounce Hostel in Airlie Beach was the highlight of my trip — clean, social, and perfectly located! What truly made it special was Emir, who went above and beyond every single day. Super friendly, always smiling, and quick to solve any request with ease, he made everyone feel at home. If you're heading to Airlie, this is the place to stay — and make sure to say hi to Emir!
