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.

We want all of our guests to get a great night's rest ahead of a day out exploring the Great Barrier Reef & Rainforest. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Dreamtime was definitely a choice I am glad that I made. It was clean, comfortable and the amenities, especially the pool and kitchen, were great. I felt right at home. Also, the staff were incredible. Tim especially went well and truly above and beyond to help me to problem solve a very stressful phone situation. I could not have asked for more.

Boasting pool views, Elysium Private Apartments at Beach Club & Spa offers accommodation with patio, around 200 metres from Palm Cove Beach. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The outdoor swimming pool features a pool bar and fence. The host Stacy was lovely and very attentive. She goes the extra mile to make sure everything was spot on for us. We loved the pool area. The restaurant was excellent. We loved being close to the pool without being overlooking it as being close was noisy. We loved the Palm Cove weather and the local restaurants.
