It was a night out to celebrate our Wedding anniversary and after I booked I did make sure that the staff knew about it by calling and an email. They did say they will make it unforgettable. Also we had the rain forecast for the whole Saturday and all morning Sunday. I could cancel my booking because of that but I did think that doesn’t matter the weather we will have a great time, because they will make us feel very special. For my surprise when I got there no one mentioned nothing about that. I did mentioned the reception at the checkin time, and he gave us a wine bottle, but just after I mentioned. It was the only thing we could get to remember our Anniversary. According to them we could not have a room upgrade because we were in 4, (2 adults and 2 toddlers). We did not have nothing special at the dinner at the restaurant too. The room had a leak under the sink, also the bedside lamp in the kids bedroom was not working. The breakfast was included in the price, and it was very average. Doesn’t have a barista to make your coffee, only an old coffee machine. The staff did not have a smile in their face, seriously, I just think did not worth the price I paid. I wish my memory about this place could be different. The history side of things was very interesting but unfortunately we will not head back.

Very rustic, character filled. Beautiful location. Not glamorous or slick, by Sydney CBD standards, but very special and a bit quirky.

Service and meal at Boiler room Resturant very poor.

This is a quirky experience. Heritage style buildings, basic accommodation overall but the bits that count are good - the bed and the shower. Simple, away from it all, different. If you want luxe, this isn't it. But it's wholesome and relaxing. Amazing harbour views. It's like being in Tassie...but on Sydney Harbour. You'll know what I mean. Recommended.

Q Station was a great place to stay, family friendly and close to the hub of Manly. So peaceful and picturesque!

I felt like i was camping. Not complaining, just different. I would stay here again.

Walk back into history. Good size bedroom with a comfy mattress, the toilet block outside was very clean and had everything we needed. The only negative is that the shuttle bus can take quite a bit of time sometimes as it picks up people around the premises but not an issue unless you are in a rush. Lovely staff.

Dining closed on Monday and Tuesday, this was not mentioned in any way before arriving, only told at reception, which was not a great start. Transport in and out of Manly for dinner was good.

We had booked a Queen Heritage room with a view, 8 months before our stay, which was confirmed at reception. Upon checkin, we were taken to a tiny, dingy and dirty room with no window, no clothes storage and was NOT what we had booked & paid for. We complained and were finaly moved to a Queen Heritage room. This room was great but had no fly screens on the windows, and with large spiders and insects everywhere along with possums walking around under the windows at night, we had to keep them closed at all times. No air con in any of their rooms, so very hot in summer. We also found the constant need to call for a shuttle bus to take us to the car park, breakfast dinning, and every other part of the Q Station annoying, sometimes having to wait 15-20. The property is VERY steep, and walkin to the various parts on the station was really hard work. We think they need to have all the rooms air conditioned. They say it is not inline with the original historic theme of the buildings, BUT, they have oil heaters, LED lighting, cieling fans and hot water systems, so their argument is moot. Would we stay there again, no, unfortunately.

This is a heritage listed property. Not a fancy hotel. The facilities are in keeping with the heritage of tge property. Great to see it preserved in this way, but may not suit everyone. Personally, I like the fact they have kept everything close to original. Shuttle transport around the property works effectively. Lovely and quiet location, easy trip into Manly by shuttle or cab.

The history, views, beaches and buildings of Q Station are marvellous. Accomodation is somewhat basic: there was an ancient and not entirely pleasant smell to our room, but it added to the experience if we set our minds to it. The mattress was poor. Because the roads around the Station are very narrow cars are not allowed, and so shuttle busses take you everywhere. The experience of being regularly piled into a bus with 8 or 9 others is great; it feels communal and opens up conversations. One wonders a little about Covid …. We will go again, and probably pay more for a bigger room.

Large rooms, beautiful harbour views with 24 hour shuttle bus to rooms from reception, as it’s quite a walk. Only complaint was there was no air conditioning in the rooms or fly screen doors to allow air flow overnight. On wall heating for winter, but probably wouldn’t stay here in summer again.

A serene place to enjoy waking to the warming sounds of the Australian bush!
