This is a heritage listed property. Not a fancy hotel. The facilities are in keeping with the heritage of tge property. Great to see it preserved in this way, but may not suit everyone. Personally, I like the fact they have kept everything close to original. Shuttle transport around the property works effectively. Lovely and quiet location, easy trip into Manly by shuttle or cab.

We had booked a Queen Heritage room with a view, 8 months before our stay, which was confirmed at reception. Upon checkin, we were taken to a tiny, dingy and dirty room with no window, no clothes storage and was NOT what we had booked & paid for. We complained and were finaly moved to a Queen Heritage room. This room was great but had no fly screens on the windows, and with large spiders and insects everywhere along with possums walking around under the windows at night, we had to keep them closed at all times. No air con in any of their rooms, so very hot in summer. We also found the constant need to call for a shuttle bus to take us to the car park, breakfast dinning, and every other part of the Q Station annoying, sometimes having to wait 15-20. The property is VERY steep, and walkin to the various parts on the station was really hard work. We think they need to have all the rooms air conditioned. They say it is not inline with the original historic theme of the buildings, BUT, they have oil heaters, LED lighting, cieling fans and hot water systems, so their argument is moot. Would we stay there again, no, unfortunately.

The history, views, beaches and buildings of Q Station are marvellous. Accomodation is somewhat basic: there was an ancient and not entirely pleasant smell to our room, but it added to the experience if we set our minds to it. The mattress was poor. Because the roads around the Station are very narrow cars are not allowed, and so shuttle busses take you everywhere. The experience of being regularly piled into a bus with 8 or 9 others is great; it feels communal and opens up conversations. One wonders a little about Covid …. We will go again, and probably pay more for a bigger room.

Large rooms, beautiful harbour views with 24 hour shuttle bus to rooms from reception, as it’s quite a walk. Only complaint was there was no air conditioning in the rooms or fly screen doors to allow air flow overnight. On wall heating for winter, but probably wouldn’t stay here in summer again.

A serene place to enjoy waking to the warming sounds of the Australian bush!

Fantastic location but the accommodation is basic (as you would expect). We were there during heatwave conditions and none of the rooms have air conditioning and because of there construction/age, have next to no insulation. Strongly suggest you avoid staying there if it’s going to be hot. The rooms were clean and tidy. We enjoyed an amazing meal at the Boiler House restaurant.

Staying at this place is an historic experience of the old Quarantine Station, truly unique in Sydney. Be sure to make time to explore the national park, go on a tour and have dinner at their restaurant, all worth the effort. Rooms are comfortable, clean and tidy but not climate controlled, which hints a tiny bit at how life might have been for the historic patrons. Service is friendly. The area is spread out so everything is an outdoor walk in the weather, or by shuttle bus which you can summon usually within about 10 minutes. Getting back to Manly or the city takes two steps - the park’s shuttle bus (or a walk) and then transport to Manly. I would recommend Q Station as an essential part of the Sydney historic experience.
