What guests think
Q Station is a unique, heritage-listed retreat inside Sydney’s North Head, celebrated for sweeping harbour views, a tranquil bush setting, and rich history, with many guests enjoying walks, the small beach, and on-site shuttles to Manly.
Rooms are simple and heritage in feel, with many noting no air conditioning or limited ventilation, thin walls and noise, occasional external bathrooms, and dated fittings needing maintenance. Cleanliness and dining are mixed: many find spaces tidy and dinners good, while several report musty smells, mould or pests, average breakfasts, closures, or poor service. Staff are frequently praised as friendly and helpful, though reception missteps and variable shuttle wait times occur. Expect a peaceful, character stay in an exceptional setting, with trade-offs in comfort and convenience.

Great efficient check in. Shuttles around the vast space are good although there was one long wait during a busy period. Boiler room restaurant was good although the Maitre d’ didn’t give me the discount I was entitled to as an Accor Plus Platinum member. Breakfast was good.

The history of the Q Station was very interesting and right on the doorstep of Manly. Would recommend planning ahead to book a tour or two with their excellent guides. It is a heritage site so rooms are small and basic and little in the way of ventilation with door closed so if you don't like the heat at night perhaps visit in the colder months NIce options to eat on site or in Manly only 5 minutes away. Buffet b'fast was nice. If your active you could easily spend a full day exploring the site.

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.

Q-Station sind die alten, aber hervorragend renovierten Gebäude der ehemaligen Quarantäne Station. Mit eigener Badebucht. Der Blick auf Sydney ist phantastisch! Transfer nach Manly zur Fähre mit dem Q-Station eigenem Bus und dann mit der Fähre mitten in Sydney nach 20 min Fahrt ankommen ist toll.

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.

Have been staying here for years. The property is starting to get a bit run down and needs maintenance upgrade. Guttering, decking, paintwork etc. Buses to rooms not running on schedule, 35 minute wait to get down on arrival & 40 minute wait to get up when leaving. However, that said, the establishment, its beaches, wildlife & walks are wonderful with very friendly & helpful staff.

Peaceful stay in stunning surroundings steeped in history. Be aware that heritage rooms have no air conditioning or windows that can be opened, only fans so if you are prone to feeling hot, it may not be as pleasant. Staff were extremely helpful and catered to everything. We didn’t take out our car during the whole stay and used the shuttle buses which helped us relax even more. Loved a morning coffee and swim at Quarantine beach, right at our doorstep. A great place to get away from crowds and enjoy the tranquility of a national park.

Room was disgusting 1/10. Curtains cover in mould, fridge noisey and would not close, bath/shower drain would not drain, ironing board soaked, phone for shuttle did not work, room heater did not work, room full of bugs. No one from the venue will respond to any contact. Dont be fooled by the photos, very misleading. Extremely small rooms. Would never stay here again.

The room was lovely, spacious and clean, and we enjoyed sitting on the verandah in the evenings enjoying the views and ambience. Only downside was no air-conditioning - it was pretty warm in the room at nights. The site is very interesting with many historical buildings, and only a few people around when we were there so it was peaceful and relaxing. The ghost tour was a disappointment though. The guide focused more on showing us dodgy photos of apparent recent sitings (on his phone and that he'd printed out) than the history of the site. I imagine there'd be countless fascinating stories from a site of such unique historical significance, but we heard very few of them. It was a shame. I'd recommend skipping the silly tour!

Bathroom outside the room is not really privat. People walk along our room and could see through de windows what means no privacy. The room was very dark and not homy. There was no coffee table in the room. To less shuttle buses to the ferry and back. I wouldn't recommand the hotel to any friend.

Beautiful location, lots to do, staff are excellent. The only thing was that in the shower it's pretty aged and go lots of black spots from something that doesn't come off. On my second night, I could also hear someone snoring through the thin walls and that kept me up a little. That was pretty disappointing considering how empty the place was, they surely could have spaced us out more.

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.

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.

Paid for harbour view room, which has a shared deck looking west across the harbour. Location and view are beautiful in good weather. Sunset view is amazing. Lovely romantic setting. Room was basic set in historic building - the interior walls are corrugated tin painted, joins and gaps around external doors caused cold draughts for the wall heater to cope with in Winter. The bed was comfortable but the room needs a freshen up. Old smells covered up with room freshner. En-suite also needs a reno - loose vanity tap, rusty vanity frame, chips in the bath.. If you’re ok with those minor flaws and happy to pay $$$ - it’s a comfortable stay. Coffee/tea also very basic. BYO tissues, and milk if you want more than a thimble in your tea/Nescafe 43 bean coffee. Not 4 star. Not worthy of a photo. Contrasting, the Boiler House Restaurant interior ambiance, food and service for dinner was excellent. The outdoor area for lunch also looking a bit tired and needs a freshen up to improve resort/retreat feel, which is what you splash out on. Happy to pay the higher room rate for more luxury than what is currently being offered.

Room wasn’t ready at 2pm. When I asked for a portacot to be put in the room, the staff member I spoke to didn’t know what a portacot was. Once one was located, it arrived mid-nap. For $280 a night, a few bottles of water in the fridge would have been nice to include. Cool gimmick staying at the quarantine station, but we won’t stay here again.

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.

The staff were very welcoming as were the shuttle bus drivers. I was double charged for the room after explaining that I paid through Wotif. Unfortunately it is very loud in the evenings with people arriving back to their rooms and even more so early in the morning with kids running along our balcony making loud noises. I would only recommend this place to people wanting to stay with their families.

Peaceful stay in stunning surroundings steeped in history. Be aware that heritage rooms have no air conditioning or windows that can be opened, only fans so if you are prone to feeling hot, it may not be as pleasant. Staff were extremely helpful and catered to everything. We didn’t take out our car during the whole stay and used the shuttle buses which helped us relax even more. Loved a morning coffee and swim at Quarantine beach, right at our doorstep. A great place to get away from crowds and enjoy the tranquility of a national park.

Location
Scenic, peaceful position in North Head with harbour views, nature walks and easy access to Manly via shuttle and ferry. Some find the steep layout and shuttle reliance less convenient.

Dining
Boiler House dinners are often enjoyed, but several guests found service or value lacking, faced closures or booking issues, or considered breakfast average. A few report good breakfasts and a pleasant café by the wharf.

We liked the sense of history at this location. The buildings by the wharf and the old hospital displayed interesting information about the old quarantine station. The Boiler House restaurant was very good. The serves were generous. However, the buffet breakfast was rather substandard and not good value.

Our family of four stayed in cottage s1 for three nights. The cottage has been well decorated but has a strong musty smell. The exterior has a lot of silicone, so if you like saying “do your best and silicone the rest” you will also like staying here. The microwave was hard to work and the lamps stopped working but everything else was good. Shuttle was easy and catching a bus down to the Manly Wharf was fast and cheap. The Boiler House restaurant was fine but we decided not to eat there after the first night as they didn’t tell us the kids could eat for free and charged us the full amount. We could have done more and stayed longer but ran out of time. We’d definitely stay again.

Great experience with great staff. Historic Quarantine station on the shores of Sydney Harbour. Romms are basic but the ambience and location are sensational. The restaurant Boilerplate is RUBBISH and the bistro by the wharf should be open for Breaky and late refreshments.

Nice little spot for a staycation. However, early check-in isn't available, after several call and emails leading up to the reservation (including day of) I was told they wouldn't know until 11am on check in day whether or not we could check in early. I was looking to check in at 11 so this was no use to me unfortunately. Included breakfast was bloody good through.

Fantastic location but the accommodation is basic (as you would expect). We were there during heatwave conditions and none of the rooms have air conditioning and because of there construction/age, have next to no insulation. Strongly suggest you avoid staying there if it’s going to be hot. The rooms were clean and tidy. We enjoyed an amazing meal at the Boiler House restaurant.

Nice location in the National Park with a lot of history. We enjoyed the walks in the national park but also the history walking tour and the dinner restaurant. The rooms are simple with a great view. However, some things just need an investment in the rooms. The bathtub could do with a change and definitely the blow dryers as well. The blow dryer when using it, sounds like it could blow up in flames any time :). Overall still a nice experience and a good place for a short stay.

Wow, what a fabulous place for a Staycation. The buildings are all old and have been left in their original form however the rooms are great, the food great, the location however, fabulous. If you want a break and enjoy a walk and a glass of bubbles or two with a view, this is the place. I have lived in Sydney all my life and cannot believe I have never stayed her before. We will be back every 6 months.

The property was lovely and peaceful with beautiful views over the harbour. The buffet breakfast and hotel amenities like the waterside bar and cafe were also nice. The shuttle service was also handy. We booked 2 king bedrooms. The rooms were clean but quite basic. Unfortunately one of the rooms we were allocated (even though they were the same price) was located at the back of building looking into a hill and was very dark. A noisy electricity box was located outside this room which kept us awake during the night.
