Q Station Harbour National Park Hotel, Sydney

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

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
