Reviews for Q Station Manly

Q Station is a unique and peaceful destination with stunning views of Sydney Harbour and a fascinating history. The heritage buildings and quiet surroundings make it an ideal place to relax and explore. The private beach was a great place to relax. One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast. It was fresh, delicious, and a perfect way to start the day. The server at the restaurant was so friendly and attentive, which made the dining experience even better. However, I did feel that the overall food prices were a bit too high. Despite this, Q Station is a fantastic place to visit. Whether you’re interested in history, love being surrounded by nature, or just want a peaceful getaway, this place has a lot to offer. The combination of beautiful scenery, a rich historical atmosphere, and great service makes it a memorable experience. I would definitely recommend it. TOP : the free shuttle , so a good idea , makes your life easier.

So pleased I phoned and spoke to the staff to plan our New Year's Eve stay! We were given a comfortable room with everything we needed. The shuttle bus is perfect and whenever we booked there was never a long wait. Great way to get around the property. The breakfast was good with a choice from hot or cold with tea, coffee and juice. The beach is perfect with a cafe close by and another restaurant for a casual lunch or more formal dinner. Understand keeping things heritage but like most people would recommend if there could somehow be a window installed in the rooms we were in a building that had no opening windows, I noticed some other buildings had windows. Or the buildings are tall enough with access that you could install a split system air conditioning system and have the outdoor unit under the building. Keeping things heritage doesn't mean you have to give up comfort. Overall very happy and will be back to share more time with friends but probably in Autumn or Spring.

What a unique experience- the views are stunning and you can feel the history all around you. I would just be aware there is no sound proofing between rooms - we were woke up by young children early each day and keep awake by neighbours chatting and laughing at night - however you have to remember the age and heritage of the building and just go with it, the quirkiness of the hotel and it’s location are worth it. We took breakfast which we thought was good value taking into consideration the remoteness of the hotel and lack of other options. Shuttle buses are reliable the drivers are all super friendly

I loved our stay at the Q Station! It was something different and beautiful in the heart of Sydney! The staff was lovely and helpful, and it was great being able to call a shuttle any time you needed. The beach was gorgeous and I couldn’t believe how much wildlife was around. The breakfast tasted great too! We also ate at the Boilerhouse and that was delicious! I wish I had more time there and would love to do the tours and walk around the National Park. I will be back!

Q Station is a relaxing little getaway if you are looking for a 3 day trip. It’s feels very remote with a beautiful private beach to stand up paddle board, snorkel, and a pontoon you can swim out to and jump off. You can’t park your car out the front of your accommodation and instead have to park at the top of the hill next to reception which is approx 500m away. Additionally, the beach is a further 500m walk away. There are shuttle buses but they can be a 10-15 min wait. Restaurant is not amazing, but awesome for afternoon drinks - especially happy hour. Overall a decent stay if you are looking for a quick reset.
