With no air conditioning the rooms are unbearable and we did not sleep well at all. There must be some way to cool rooms down, even portable air conditioners. The fans simply push hot air through the rooms. It wasn't possible to leave the doors open to get a breeze going through the rooms because the bush turkeys came into the rooms looking for food and checking out anything we had inside. Would NOT recommend staying in summer, especially hot days. The location is picture perfect and the beach and cafe superb. The Boiler house meal was great, ironically they had air conditioning even though it is part of the heritage site.

Wow what a view from the balcony. You see Sydney in a peaceful light. Rooms excellent and every morning a bushturkey would pop it's noise in and say hello. There for a wedding and the back drop of the harbour was magical with a cruise ship leaving while taking photo's. The breakfast was excellent and meals at the boiler house. The coffee shop on the wharf was another excellent spot to take in the peaceful scenery. Hidden gem.

One night was not enough… Attended a wedding over the weekend and stayed one night. The venue was breathtaking the service and shuttle bus fantastic. We found the walk to the cafe and restaurant easy especially going down hill. Our room was beautiful and simple… the beds and pillows very comfortable.. We would love to come back and explore more of what the Q Station has to offer. And so close to Manly ❤️

We enjoyed a great stay at QStation. Weather was fantastic which made our stay particularly enjoyable - warm sunny days and cool evenings (very welcomed, as no air conditioning or opening windows in room - definitely would not stay in summer). The location, views and beach were the main highlight for us. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Shuttle worked well, with only one considerable wait at peak dinner time. We enjoyed meals at the Boiler House, the cafe and buffet breakfast. All were very good. Accor dining discount is applied at the Boiler House. Highly recommend the history tour, great way to learn about the fascinating (and tragic) history of the area. Our tour guide Mel was excellent. Only disappointment was the lack of Accor membership recognition - no welcome amenity and no room upgrade (despite the property appearing to be very low occupancy). Welcome drinks and late check out were honoured. We would happily return for another visit!

A lot of mod cons have been introduced in the past 150 years, but unfortunately many are yet to reach Q Station. Unless you are after an authentically rustic experience, I wouldn’t recommend it. At least not in summer. After several warm days in Sydney, my basic but clean room became a hot box in which it was barely possible to sleep, let alone spend any time in. There was no way to cool it down. With no air con and no windows the only options were a barely-working overhead fan and leaving the door wide open. I asked at reception to move to a cooler room but they were fully booked. They did bring me a pedestal fan, but due to the position of the only power point it wasn’t much use either. Most guests seemed to be in the same boat. Walking along the verandahs you’d see people lying half dressed on top of their beds, with doors wide open trying to get air in. It was strange experience to have at an Accor property in 2026. The staff explained that due to the heritage listing, there’s no way to install air con. But there is more they could do. Just for starters a properly working overhead fan. Surely they could also supply portable air con units during heatwaves or look at ways people could air their rooms safely without having to leave them wide open to mozzies, wildlife and opportunistic thieves. This hotel would not be safe for elderly people during a heatwave. While I’m sure the conditions are an improvement on 1832, there’s still a way to go Accor.
