Dreamhouse Hostel is a great and quiet little hoste in the heart of Cairns City. Tim the manager is a nice guy, great to deal with and makes the place feel secure, he had also upgraded my initial booking out of kindness which was awesome after being on the travel for some time and needing and wanting chill and comfort. 10/10 service, cleanliness, clean kitchen and utensils, etc. cute and cosy gardens. One of the best hostels I've stayed in around the world. Will definitely stay here again!

We stayed with the lovely couple in Cairns and can heavily recommend booking your stay with them. You have your own apartment with a cute kitchen with most of the essentials (and then some). Cozy feeling of summer cabin from back home. The house is a short walk / drive away from the center of town. Peaceful and cute place to stay, gentle and cute dog next door and very friendly couple to share travel tips and a bit of chat. Would visit again and so should you!

The house was cosy and had everything you need for a comfortable stay. As I was travelling alone I thought the shared bathroom would bother me, but it was fine. The house was very clean and tidy and there was a good breakfast selection.

We found everything we needed in this apartment. We met the owner and found him and his wife to be very nice and helpful. We raised concerns with Booking.com about how Booking.com failed us on another booking in Cairns but that was not for this property. We very much enjoyed our stay in this property.

There was nothing we could like about this so called resort and it should not be listed as holiday accommodation on booking.com Totally a misrepresentation from reality and the pictures shown on booking.com site. We could not stay the 2 nights we booked due to the disgusting condition of the establishment, and are currently waiting for our money to be returned

Receptive and helpful management. It is conveniently accessible to the Esplanade, Shopping area and Recreation facilities (including Cairns Aquarium). The quietness of the places is a plus. Either by cab or by foot, most places can be reached with a certain degree of ease. The ease or efficiency of getting booked in as well as checking out is commendable. The cost is also very affordable, relatively. It is good for short-stay holiday makers who are seeking affordable accommodation.

Love the location it's near to everything just like how we expected. Also it's was a great experience with my family for the first time taking a little holiday and showing them the adventure of staying at the motel and being in the city especially for my kids which was there first time traveling. Just like we picture it thank you very much for you hospitality and making it very comfortable for us and many more. Specifically for my autistic son which he loved the accommodation and it's was very safe and secure. Thank you very much

The room was very clean and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Parking is provided at the front of the rooms. It was very affordable and perfect for our overnight stay. The room provided all the essentials we needed. The Edge Hill Tavern also provided great food and friendly service with discounted drinks and dinner for the residents staying in the accomodation. We definitely recommend staying there. We attended a band at the Tavern, so it provided the perfect accommodation and met all the criteria. 😃😃😃
