Exceeded expectations with a very comfortable room, quiet surroundings, million dollar views and very friendly and helpful staff. The shuttle bus drivers are very knowledgeable and friendly and each ride put a smile on our face. I really like this element of the stay, felt like we were on an island holiday! The choice of food options are great, if our budget allowed we would have used the restaurant but alas this time breakfast was at the cafe. I actually think this was better as we had a waterfront table in the dappled sun which was special! Such a great use of this historic site and wonderful knowing this business is looking it after it for future generations. We will be back for sure!

We stayed at the Isolation Suites and it was a lovely quiet stay that felt like it was deep in the bush. Staff were very friendly and helpful, though sometimes the staff on the phone at reception could be a bit blunt. We would have loved if the television had let us log in to our own streaming services and the rooms could do with a nicer coffee option, given how remote they are. Apart from this it was wonderful, comfy beds, easy walk to the beach and a lovely restaurant, quick shuttle service. Very pleased.

Our extended family spent two nights in two of the Officer's Cottages (S4 and S10). Bathrooms and kitchens were in dire need of heritage-sympathetic upgrades. No safe way of getting in and out of the bath/shower without holding onto an insecure towel rail. Collapsed fences and general dilapidated condition was disappointing for the amount paid. On a positive note, staff were friendly and helpful.

We had a wonderful stay at the Q Station. Everything went smoothly for us, we decided to travel by public transport, which was so easy from Wollongong. A train ride, the ferry and a short bus trip. Our accommodation was very nice and clean, it was great to have an umbrella available as well because of the rain. The shuttle bus was great to get around, just had to call reception and it was there in a couple of minutes. We would highly recommend the experience of visiting here. We will definitely be back. Our guide, Emily, on the Wander Tour was fantastic, she really new the history and shared her knowledge.

This in my third time visiting, however my first time staying. The room was incredible and breakfast was delicious. We had a ghostly encounters package and were lucky enough to be taken around by Chris. The enthusiasm and knowledge about his work was infectious!
