Q Station Harbour National Park Hotel, Sydney

Restaurant too far apart from hotel room.

Really unique piece of history and great staycay location - feels really far from the city, yet you’re treated with beautiful views of it. Recommend taking a walk around the Manly head trails while you’re there - so stunning. Boiler room restaurant was lovely albeit a bit expensive, and sunset from the beach was sensational.

If have loved a microwave in the room. I also didn’t know there was a sauna available til I left.

Stunning location. Unique experience. We have done the historical tour and ghost tours few times. Great place to take a break from the world

The food in the buffet at breakfast was ok. Not amazing

Room was a bit dated but very comfortable, huge property to explore, gorgeous location with great views of Sydney

For the cost I would have expected better in room amenities but this didn’t affect my experience.

I love Q Station. Stunning views, history and character. The staff always bend over backward when I stay and Q Station is very trained Assistance Dog friendly. I will always stay at Q Station when I visit Sydney.

I’m going to be super dooper picky. My room had thin walls and my neighbours were noisy. It didn’t keep me awake but it was enough that I was cautious how I moved around.

The location for history and nature lovers is a must.

A family of 3 they made up the sofa bed for our daughter. Very lumpy and uncomfortable.

location

nothing

Location is great.

The room has a strong disinfectant smell, one bedside lamp didn’t work. The shuttle is great but an extended stay it could get annoying.

Beautiful setting

Some food facilities not open

Location amazing

Food ambiance location cleanliness and staff are all exceptional

Rooms with external bathroom.☺️

Everything

External bathrooms and toilet

Natural environment and history. Walking and no vehicles a bonus

Cold buffet breakfast, 8.00am slot but crowded and "hot" was not....so book early breakfast.

Great location. We sat behind the beach with a bottle of red, watching the sun set. Very restful.

The rooms were a bit warm after a hot day, and there was only a fan for cooling. On a hotter day,, it would have been unpleasant.

Great

Should have more open

I loved the location - at the edge of Sydney, and yet immersed in nature. Might not be fore everyone as you need to take a (free) shuttle bus that goes about 6 times a day to get into Manly (or public bus which runs more frequently), but personally i preferred to be in the nature and have all the beautiful sights and sounds. I was lucky to get room 104, which was charged as a room without a view, but actually did have a bit of a view - i think most of the non-harbour view rooms don't have a view at all.

The Boilerhouse restaurant in the evenings - we went there the first night and ate and everything was fine, but the other three times we turned up there they had either stopped serving, closing, or closed, due to not enough customers. Ok, one time we got there after 9, but the other two times we were there before or just after 8pm so seems a bit wrong. We ordered food through Uber Eats instead, but beware - it can take a long time. Our pizza took an hour and turned up cold!

It was a fabulous historic site and the hotel conversion was great - sensitive and faithful. We were right next to the former first class dining room, now a guest lounge - divine.

It’s not that I didn’t like it but be aware: we came from work and only had half an hour to check in and get to the restaurant for our booking - but we needed an hour to remove stress. In fact - I would come in the afternoon if possible so you aren’t arriving in the dark and getting on and off the frequent shuttles in total confusion about where you are! It’s an active sort of place - if you aren’t too flexible ask for the bus with a step to help you get in!

Lovely verdant location and bush/harbour views

Hard to know how often the shuttle buses were coming.

Breakfast is amazing . Lot of options to choose. Beach near by was excellent and we had great sweet memories to take away.

There is no enough blankets and was not clean we felt.

Great location. Huge room.

Not 100% clean. We’d accidentally booked a room without a bathroom and it was a bit of a walk at night to it

Beautiful grounds and views, peaceful amongst nature and the wildlife and interesting history

No kitchenette, door handles very low and accessible to children without ability to lock

Stunning location, music in the boiler house garden in the afternoon, relaxed atmosphere.

External bathroom was a bit weird. The online guest guide had info but no way to interact with it eg to book breakfast.

Great venue with multiple entertainment/things to do. Beach, museum, ghost tours, bush walks, restaurant and cafe.

Staff culture a bit average. Lots of resting unhappy faces especially the breakfast team. The separate bathroom is a real drag. We knew the story but would probably not book that type of room again. your doors could not be left unlocked so it was a constant key juggle. Pretty sure no one is going to steal your soap.

Location and environment are great. Courtesy shuttle very handy.

Would be great to have BBQ facilities

Relaxed, friendly, beautiful views

I left my handbag in my locked room upon departure by accident. I rang to inform management but my handbag wasn’t found and was told I would get a call back. I had my chemo side effect meds and tablets in my handbag. I find it untrustworthy as I locked my room when I left so I don’t believe it could have been taken by anyone other than housekeeping or staff. I really loved my stay as I was visiting my adult children before I have another cancer surgery, and would love to come back again, but I feel a bad taste in my mouth due my handbag going missing.

I really loved the environment and the service is so good

Not sure 😁

A comfortable room, great location, clean and spacious bathroom. We purchased the breakfast option and the food was freshly prepared, with a fair selection of choices in hot and cold.

Being an old building, the walls between rooms allow some sound, but we didn't hear conversations or encounter any noisy neighbours.

Awesome location for a special trip with my young son.

Breakfast was good - could possibly mix up the menu a little from day to day. Location was excellent. Shuttle bus to Manly was handy, We enjoyed the history, the tour was very good. Spectacular view of the city.

The room was a little stuffy - needed some AC or ventilation. TV service was poor. Cable TV would be nice. Rooms could use some additional decoration or wall hangings.

We booked the rooms with the sea view and we've got the best rooms. The view of our rooms are stunning! Bed is comfortable.

The room is quite hot while outside is cooler. Room has no air-condition, the fan is noisy. We have to leave the door open to get some fresh air in.

Amazing place to stay with breathtaking views and interesting history

Location and views are fantastic, live music and bar area were fantastic.

Room didn't have air-conditioning

The setting is spectacular

The over head fan in the room chugs like a train. It is loud and offensive and it needs to be replaced. There are no screen doors so you have to shut your room at night with no fresh air or cooling breeze. There are no air conditioners

It feels like you are in a quiet, country location, but you are 5 minutes from the bustle of Manly, sitting on the verandah looking out over sweeping views of Sydney Harbour, with echidnas and bandicoots wandering by, and owls and bats sweeping past. Peaceful and private, and adequately equipped.

The access can be problematic. Staying the night, you can drive your car to near the accommodation, but there are strict rules around where you can drive and some of the staff were positively rude if you even looked like you might take a wrong turn and head down the wrong road or if you have the audacity to lose the photocopied piece of paper with your apartment number writted on it in pen, as if it were the must ridiculous imposition on them to ask your last name or registration number at the gate. The buildings are partly-restored 1930's houses, so the facilities are pretty basic but perfectly adequate for a small group weekend away.

Loved the location, beautiful views walking around the bush surrounds and discovering all the many buildings and history of the place. Free shuttle was handy, comfortable room, buffet breakfast was reasonable, again with scenic views, a great spot if sitting outside on a sunny morning. Great service, rooms are to be expected, old and historic but renovated into ok comfortable rooms.

Only 2 downsides, shower head in shower/bath way too low to wash hair, and a wedding reception was held directly opposite our room and was very noisy until late! Overall the kids and I loved our weekend away at Q Station Manly.

I loved the shuttle bus fantastic Didn't like bathroom floor got completely wet when I had shower Breakfast was lovely except they ran out of cutlery I enjoyed ghost tour but to many people

Amazing hidden peaceful pocket of paradise

Fold out bed wasn't very comfortable

Breakfast was delicious. Location wonderful. Staff wonderful.

Bed unfortunately extremely uncomfortable No air conditioning A lot of mould in bathroom in toilet

The environment was awesome n everyone was super helpful.

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
