Q Station Harbour National Park Hotel, Sydney

Amazing location with amazing history . Rooms were neat and comfy with views over the harbour . We had intended to dine in and also dine in Manly but didn't leave the Q Station for 3 days - the dining options were great and varied . Such a great place to simply relax and watch Sydney from a distance . More of an experience than just accommodation

Loved the whole experience

We loved the location, we had tickets to see Amy Shark at the Barrack's so it was so easy to check-in, get a shuttle back to reception, but then they offered to drop us straight to the concert - such incredible service!

We had only planned to stay one night, but I wish we had stayed longer! There are a few restaurants and cafes on the site that we would've loved to try!

The location is beautiful with spectacular views. It’s also unique with its history. The staff were also very good

History and that we could get into some of the places

Only i should have brought my bike....its a big place. But thats on me :)

P1 room 3. Location was beautiful and a walk from the concert at Barracks precinct. Friendly staff, regular bus shuttle, bed, beach,

The power point at fridge was loose and the iron made it spark and the iron kept turning off at the point. The ceiling fan in the bathroom did not work nor did the telephone to call for a shuttle bus; red light was flashing all the time. I am concerned about the electricity maintenance, as the buildings are old and wood and need electricity upkeep at a premium.

Location to the concert

The distance between all the buildings

Location, facilities, ability to explore, friendly and obliging staff, umbrella in the room

Location, Dinner was excellent, Ghost tour and breakfast

main restaraunt should have been open for dinner on the Tuesday. There should be availability to take a schuttle to manly at no additional charge.

It was beautiful

There was an event 10 meters from our room until 11pm - then staff cleaning. Staff was friendly but could have been better trained.

lovely location and very peaceful

Nothing

Location. Fabulous outlook. Unique property. Beautiful Comfortable Luxurious Rooms. Facilities - great restaurant, cafe, beach and sauna.

Our in-room phone didn’t work. Queues for shuttle and no idea when next one coming so ended up walking in the dark. Cheap Nescafé coffee in room. Pleased we ate breakfast early as they were running short of eggs as we left around 8:30am.

The unique experience, proximity to the harbour and history. Also the casual atmosphere.

It was so quiet. An oasis in the city.

Nothing

Good grounds, interesting, different type of stay

Front desk staff - just more friendly and helpful A little hassle catching bus to and from car park (although bus could be ordered etc.)

Unique location

Internal phone did not work. Tv was malfunctioning on Friday and Saturday nights.

Great position

Old facilities. Shower over a slippery bath. Dangerous to climb in & out of the shower . Daily room service- tucked in the top sheet but left the bottom sheet crumpled & pulled out of the mattress.

The breakfast was incredible. The constant shuttles were so helpful

The pull out sofa bed was so incredibly uncomfortable we barely slept. We had a sheet as a blanket so were cold.

The location was amazing 👏 just beautiful. The little team that drive the shuffle buses really make the experience even better, so friendly!

Rooms were great and all however we were sitting in our lounge area and a bush rat ran into room under the lounge and upon further inspection under lounge wear found rat bait......so yeah that was alarming

Close to home but felt so far away and peaceful

Pillows too fat

Great views and interesting history. Shuttle to Manly is a great option.

I like the Q Station but the bed was hard and I feel discomfort the next morning.

Location

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.
