Q Station Harbour National Park Hotel, Sydney

Clean and tidy and spacious

Having to wait for the shuttle when in a hurry

I loved it all. I was after a quiet getaway in a great location and I got it.

N/A

The staff were extremely accommodating and very committed to ensuring you enjoyed your stay. The boiler house kitchen & bar was excellent in both quality of food & service.

The sofa bed - the mattress is so thin you can feel every support spring & bar

The view was amazing, a really nice area. Very quiet, in bushland right next to Manly. The shuttle bus service was excellent in terms of moving you around the station during we weather.

The room was a little cold. The cooked eggs breakfast at the Q-Station Wharf was terrible - very cold and poorly made.

Absolutely loved the location, had a wonderful lunch in the sun before walking the grounds. Rooms were better than I expected, plenty of space. Staff were so helpful and courteous. Will definitely return when in Sydney.

Basic accommodation, as expected. Convenient and cheerful shuttle service. Kids' ghost tour was fun.

Sofa bed was extremely uncomfortable, even for a child.

Stunning location, breakfasts, staff.

Decor a bit tired, and blanket for bed stained.

Very affordable pricing .

Beds are small , not King , matress just ok . No milk left on second day . No replacement of coffee or tea bags on second day . The heater room 43 not working .

Room size was large enough for 3 people and it was great having the sauna back on the wharf. We enjoyed a sunrise sauna and dip in the water, what a great way to start the day 😎 Staff were very responsive to requests when things were required for the room, e.g. extra towels.

Sofa bed was not made up on arrival, only 2 cups for a room that was booked for 3 people but this was a minor inconvenience . Ants in the bathroom.

The ladies at Check In were lovely and friendly and the rooms were simple but comfortable 🤩 Nice water view from balcony

Great historical information, good location for what we needed

Not being able to park at the front door

It was clean comfortable with stunning views . Good breakfast and lovely dinner even though we had to wait for a while to get our first course but it was worth waiting for

We had issues with the TV but managed to work out how to overcome the problem

Lovely breakfast and amazing location. A hidden gem!

TV kept turning off - other than that, perfect!

The Settlers Cottage was perfect for our family of 5 (3 teenagers). The location was fabulous - 5 min drive to Manly and outstanding views of the harbour from our windows. The cottage was well furnished, heating in each room kept us warm in winter and the kitchen had a dishwasher and ample cooking equipment so we could make some meals ourselves. Couches and beds were also really comfortable. The shuttle bus is a great convenience if dining at the restaurant. Q Station is a historical site with a museum and lots of historical buildings - totally worth it to stay here to be able to see this brilliant and beautiful place! Restaurant is expensive but delicious. It’s a 2 or 3 course for a set price so we didn’t take our kids!

The shuttle bus only runs into Manly Fri-Sun so after a long day of sightseeing Sydney on public transport on Thursday, it would have been amazing to be able to get the shuttle back from Manly instead of trying to find the public bus stop in the dark. It would be awesome if the shuttle could be booked during week days.

Amazing location in terms of the views, grounds and the historical value. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Room was comfortable, warm and clean.

Nothing against Q Station, but Taxi service to Manly not reliable even though reception booked for us ahead of time.

The location and history of the site. Breakfast quite nice.

No water available in room. A water jug in the refrigerator would help. Each guest should have their own key. Quite limited tea/coffee facilities/supplies and no biscuits....

Location was great, you can’t improve on a National Park ☺️Room was large enough for a luggage rack

Hot water wasn’t hot 😬

The location is next level fantastic. I love how it is a different experience to a hotel room.

Rooms are getting a little tired, but the location almost excuses that.

Position -close to harbour

The staff are wonderful the rooms are clean breakfast was yummy. They had gluten free options for breakfast as well

The beds are very uncomfortable and super hard. The sofa bed mattress seems to be old and needing a replacement

Beautiful scenery and ability to adventure around!

Food was not it!

everything was great

Location was fantastic. The beds were really comfortable. The location was really nice and pretty a lot of things to do and had a great time. Thoroughly enjoyed the ghost tour. But I do think it was a little bit too much about other peoples experiences rather than actual historical events or stories connected to the history of the Q station.

The server in the boiler room was really unhelpful and kind of unfriendly. The fact that you have to pay $17 for a movie in your room, seems a bit of a rip off. Just get Netflix.

The only limitation was the room looked over bushland rather than the ocean.

Not being abnle to park the car outside the accommodation

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 😁
