This place is clearly stands out as a unique and natural setting very close to one of the worlds most bustling cities. The staff were great and should be awarded for their dedication. However you should ask what events and the location of events during your stay so that you can better plan your activities. We had a wedding held just metres from our door on our last night. It wasn't a problem for us however staff purposely chose not to let us know. Had they informed us we could have better planned our stay, not to be around the happy revellers on that evening.
Whilst the “hotel” aspect of the First Class Precinct isn’t overly premium, the experience of this property is truly unique and absolutely worth a visit. Getting around the resort is easy with the complimentary shuttle services shared with other guests. The rooms are full of character and rich history — staying here genuinely feels like stepping back into the late 1800s. During my stay, I chose to do the history tour at the Visitor & Tourism Centre, which I highly recommend. It gave me a deeper connection to the generations who lived here before, sharing both the challenging and the beautiful parts of their stories. Museums around the area showcase original pieces, and walking through the site feels like exploring a preserved island village from another era. I would happily recommend this experience to anyone visiting Sydney — especially in summer. One suggestion: it would be wonderful to see more thought put into the Accor Plus Explorer benefits for this property. Something unique to Q Station would elevate the stay even more — perhaps a complimentary kayaking session, a history tour pass for guests who don’t drink wine, or a small memorable touch that highlights the character of the site. Overall, it’s a beautiful and meaningful trip that offers something very different from a standard hotel stay.
Excellent set up for booking in at reception and quick shuttle to our room in the Isolation area. Lovely room with nice seperate living room, very comfortable and so quite!. Cloudy day so no sunset but later that night after the "extreme ghost tour" we enjoyed the beautiful lights of Manly and the City from the deck of the Isolation Rooms Guest Lounge. Shuttle on demand service meant we could meander down through the whole station and then get the regular shuttle back to our room. Food at Boilerhouse was sumptuous and breakfast by the beach at the cafe was yummy. Overall great experience and lovely staff from all over the world especially Lisbon!
We really enjoyed the serenity of Q Station. While it was a little cool for us to go swimming, the private beach is a really nice perk. The staff are phenomenal, and oh so nice. The only issues we had were very minor and resolved quickly. The shuttle service is prompt, and the drivers very helpful (special shout out to Pedro). We will definitely stay again.
Beautiful venue for a wedding and all the organisers were just divine! Could not express how grateful I am for the team being so helpful getting all the guests to where the needed to be. Special shoutout to Shuttle Bus driver Lily who had such a cheerful attitude and glorious energy whilst driving us to the venue, she was super amazing to chat with whist still remaining professional and focused on the job at hand. 5 stars to her! 😊😊😊
