Beautiful, stunning location. Great accommodation, café, restaurant & bar. Excellent selection for breakfast. Interesting historical site and museum. Unfortunately baby stingray season made swimming a danger, as several people were stung. Rather excellent that no visitors cars are permitted on site. Staff were helpful and friendly, especially the shuttle bus drivers. Thank you Q for another lovely stay. Suzanne

More advice and options when we checked in as to the tours and walks available, places to see in the area - we only got this info from other guests. Room was a bit small and stuffy, but we didn't expect a big room for the price. A Full length mirror in the room would be handy.
We didnt eat breakfast there - not big eaters and understood that the only option was to pay $26 each for full breakfast. Not sure if this was correct.

The Q station was the highlight of our holiday and the history of the quarantine station so interesting and loved the ghost tour with John. The staff were really nice and Layna was helpful when she drove us around. The food in the restaurant was great .

Q Station is a unique hotel experience. Great location with the Manly Ferry chugging past & wildlife in the grounds. The restaurant is great & we used the guest lounge to play cards. Friendly staff & a bus to move you around. I had a charming room & my request for a sunny verandah was granted so I had a fabulous winter stay. Highly recommend this hotel
