Q Station Harbour National Park Hotel, Sydney

Nature based isolated and the views outstanding.

The room was great but as ive said many times before during stays, the noise from other rooms is very noticeable. Other guests talking, snoring, banging. That's the only problem otherwise outstanding.

Great spot and location

Ants in the bathroom however staff came in and fixed quickly

We had a room in P12 overlooking towards the Sydney city, Balmoral, Tanya Park, Forty Baskets etc and we had a beautiful view of the room. Room was very nice and we loved that we could walk all the quarantine station. We had coffee and the cafe down on the waterfront. We actually felt like we were away from the hustle of Manly even though we were just up the road. We have done many ghost tours here, but never stayed, but we will be back we loved it. Value for money was great we felt.

Loved the whole thing other then the room was so hot to sleep in as not air-conditioned. The mattress wasn't the most comfortable either. Other then that it was amazing!!! The buffet breakfast was sensational and the tour was unreal!! Definitely highly recommend

Something a bit different from the usual hotel - a lot of character, wildlife around the property (saw a long-nosed bandicoot on the verandah). Comfortable room.

A slight smell of drains. Not unexpected due to the age of the property.

Quiet

Shower overflowed onto bathroom floor which wasn’t level or flowing to drain.

Beautiful location and lovely staff.

Bad smell coming up the floor waste in the bathroom.

Staff very helpful location was quite need to get shuttle a lot though to get around and back to car .

View disappointed

Superb location. Staying in a historical monument was interesting and unique. The history tour was fantastic

We stayed in P1 which has external bathrooms. There were lots of spider webs, dust and marks on the walls. Whilst the bed linen was spotlessly clean the actual duvet had lots of marks on it

Quirky, relaxing and quiet

The restaurant and bar was shut for a conference so although the coffee bar was open in the evening we were upset the bar/ restaurant was not open to us as that was one of the reasons we booked

It’s an absolutely amazing setting!

Aircon would make a big difference

Staff at reception and driving the buses were excellent. Rooms a bit grimy and toilets in need of a deep clean, with our door quite broken at the lock, but overall very comfortable and beautiful little oasis with its own beach, lots of history, stunning views and free shuttle bus to Manly. An overall fab stay and would deffo come stay here again.

Peace and Quiet WALKS AROUND SITE cAFE AND nUSEUM bEACH FOR SWIM rESTAURANT

hAVING ONE KEY GOT LOCKED OUT ONE TIME AND WAS A BIT AWKWARD!!

A unique location in a historic part of Sydney, Q station is located in an idyllic part of Manly (5min drive to Manly Beach) Rooms are renovated with basic bedroom and spacious shower rooms. Staff are very helpful with a shuttle available 24hrs to the main carpark. A short walk to the beach with great swimming area and Cafe. Would stay again.

Smallish bed

Great location, clean and quiet.

Great location and good value. The museum was so informative. Loved the little beach. Shuttle buses were a real bonus. Lovely staff.

In need of a facelift. But you probably know that!

A lovely view, close to Manly, lots of space in the rooms. It has a separate bedroom and lounge room and a little area in between for luggage and hanging space for clothes.

It’s a bit tired. We have stayed there a few times over the past 20 years and it feels like it hasn’t been upgraded at all in that time. The bed in P1 is a bit sagged in the middle and there is a slight mould problem in the outside (and separate) bathroom and toilet. All the rooms are clean but I would recommend the back of the bathroom door and the ceilings in the bathroom and toilet be cleaned.

Location and staff amazing for our plans. Ghost tour was great. Staff so friendly. Quiet and well looked after property.

Just missed the breakfast bowls for our morning cereal lol.

Beautiful place to relax and unwind .

A little hot in the rooms no much air flow .

The location is unique

All good

The location was great, with a lot of wildlife in the grounds and fascinating history of the qstation.

In my room the bathroom was external so you had to leave the room to get to the bathroom. It was ok generally but a pain if you had to go in the night. This is a minor point though and I was aware this would be the case.

Pretty surrounds

Was a little dirty

The Quarantine station is part of Sydney's history and a lovely location to stay to take in the harbour, the heads and the grounds, we stayed in a Heritage King Room. Its proximity to Manly and the ferry services links the stay to everything that Sydney offers. Keep in mind that it is a historic location that comes with wear, tear and other limitations. We were aware of these limits prior to booking and had a very enjoyable stay. Free on-site parking, on-site private harbour beach and a competitive room rate.

I wouldn't say we disliked this list but you should be prepared for them. 1. The grounds are large and worth exploring and there is a shuttle service but it does take 10-15 mins to come and get you. Plan Ahead. 2. The shuttle to Manly is first come best dressed and seats 11 people. I believe they will lay on additional mini-busses if there is a large demand but you can not reserve a seat. 3. No AirCon. Fans and Windows only with little insulation. In very hot weather this could be an an issue. 4. No on-site shop for necessities.

Great location, well set out and ran by experienced people

So much history relaxing

old building ?? Drainage issues

Fresh and clean.

No aircon

Location

Could be cleaner

Location and its history

No Air cond in room. Some Bessie lamps or such would be handy.

Rooms are spacious and great to have robes and slippers provided too. Staff are so lovely and it was a nice surprise to have plant based options at breakfast and at the cafe. The private beach is gorgeous - such a perfect place to unwind! Interesting visitor centre about the history of the site too. What a fabulous, unique stay!

The room was pretty stuffy as there isn't air con. Given that this is remote location, a mini bar with some options in the fridge would have been helpful on arrival.

Lovely location and exclusive feel to the whole property. The shuttle to each of the different accommodation blocks is super helpful. Staff were great.

Ceiling fan in the room was not super effective against hot Aussie temperatures unless it was on highest settling which was a bit noisy. And lack of windows made it difficult to avoid the room getting stuffy overnight.

Location and courtesy bus

Peaceful location, with lots to do if you are so inclined.

Poorly ventilated bedrooms.

Beautiful surroundings

Location

The room was hot. Fan very slow. No windows to open

The location was perfect, the room was ok but no air conditioning which was disappointing coming from WA most venues are air conditioned I would have thought but maybe that is just the west coast. The view was nice looking at the bush. The walk down to the wharf cafe, beach and restaurant was nice, we got to spend the day there hiring kayaks when not having appointments.

I did not like the stuffy room without air-conditioning and on Saturday night we caught the shuttle from our room to Manly but external beach goers had got a ride from the wharf to the reception before us, so we went out to dinner with wet bottoms after sitting on the seat after them.

Chose location for uniqueness, location and history

Wonderful views of Sydney Harbour, very peaceful, within walking distance of Sydney Harbour National Park. Very easy to access COD Sydney.

This is a comfortable and interesting place to stay, full of Australian immigrant history and with great facilities. The history tour was well worth taking, and Hannah, our guide, was excellent. The shuttle bus from Manly made it easily accessible from Sydney as the pick-up point is close to the ferry terminal, so we had no need of a car. The site is on a steep hill so the accommodation area is a short uphill walk from the cafe and restaurant but the friendly staff with their pickup buses were always at hand to give us lifts around the Q station area. Fabulous beach for swimming.

We were disappointed with our room initially so the staff had no problems changing us to a room with a sea view, which was what we wanted. The restaurant was closed the first two evenings of our stay- on Mondays and Tuesdays. This hadn't been outlined in the Booking.com information.

The staff were a standout. Really lovely hospitality culture from the front desk and definitely including the internal coach drivers. Nothing was too much trouble and they were all super helpful in facilitating us seeing the Q Station and the local area. The Q Station tour was excellent and well worth doing.

The breakfast could have been a bit better for the price, but I'm nit picking a bit (i.e. it was fine, but I would probably go and spend the same amount in local cafe and get something a bit better value). The bathrooms etc.. obviously don't have the '5 star' feel, but this is completely understandable given the heritage constraints in what they can do with the buildings.

Fantastic location Room was great

We had an external private bathroom but next time I stay I will get a room with a bathroom in the room

Loved the location!!! View was amazing. Staff were amazing, transport was brilliant and I loved it!

Going out to go to the loo wasn’t fab, but manageable .

The location and history. Our room was quaint, and even though the bathroom was out on the balcony, it added to the character of the place. The breakfast was tasty, but watch out for the opportunistic scrub turkeys and magpies if you’re eating on the balcony! We stayed 1 night, and feel that you probably wouldn’t need any longer.

Iconic location and heritage gives the Q Station an awesome vibe. The staff are very accomodating and helpful and ensured that we had a very good experience.

The taps for the shower dripped and the room was quite stuffy overnight. Although the ceilings are nice and high, room ventilation could be improved to enable the heat build-up from the day to escape either through improved vents or a window that can be left open with fly wire to prevent insects from getting in.

Unique accommodation! Not a usual hotel as the rooms are spread out over the site. Loved walking round reading all the history of each building - really fascinating!

Completely understand environmental aspect but having no air conditioning might be a consideration if staying in the heat of summer. Was ok for us as the fan was enough to keep room cool overnight.

Location in the Sydney Harbour NP. Right in the middle of a historic site. The shuttle system available. The price. Excellently priced breakfast.

Hilly site and amenities spread around.

Breakfast was great and loved the location.

Museum closed at 4pm on Saturday & not open till 10am on Sunday. Had to call to get sofa bed made up. Would have liked this information before so I could have planned my arrival for earlier in the day.

Room was a bit worse for wear. Stained carpet.Would be good to have a USB port in the room for charging. Remote for the fan would be good. Bathroom could be a bit cleaner.

Basic facilities but charming and atmospheric buildings. Location remote from manly but setting was spectacular and situated in national park which made for a lovely stay.

Staff were amazing and so helpful. Beautiful grounds to explore and positioned so beautifully in nature with stunning harbour views. Quiet and peaceful

Rooms and hot

The location, views and history.

Rooms were hot during day, but authentic. No air con.
