Dreamtime has successfully been welcoming guests since 1993, and when you walk through the gate you really feel like youve picked the right place to stay. One of our guests enjoyed their stay so much he got a Dreamtime tattoo! We really do make an impression on people!

We are designed for short-stay international travellers, and from experience, we have found that mature travellers over 60 & young families with children under 12 are not so well suited to our style of accommodation. We want to serve our guests to the best of our ability and do not want to disappoint anyone. Please bear this in mind.
