Q Station was a great place to stay, family friendly and close to the hub of Manly. So peaceful and picturesque!

Walk back into history. Good size bedroom with a comfy mattress, the toilet block outside was very clean and had everything we needed.
The only negative is that the shuttle bus can take quite a bit of time sometimes as it picks up people around the premises but not an issue unless you are in a rush. Lovely staff.

Dining closed on Monday and Tuesday, this was not mentioned in any way before arriving, only told at reception, which was not a great start. Transport in and out of Manly for dinner was good.

This visit made me really sad. We spent 3 nights on holiday and have been many time before. This time was terrible. It feels like the property is at the end of a contract and being run into the ground. The bathroom was filthy, with a hairdryer from the 1990s and so many spiders, bugs, webs. The back of the door was a greasy grimy mess. They should replace the broken vanity so there is somewhere to put your toothbrush at least. As an ex-Scout leader and have used cleaner scout camping bathrooms. The cleaners drive around in noisy clapped out old bangers - I thought they were just underpaid until I noticed Q Station on the side. The cleaners didn't clean our cups or replenish the tea/coffee. They should provide a face towel, water glass and tissues in the room (unless the target market is backpackers?). Slippers and a robe would be nice (I know this is usually a treat reserved for 4 or 5 star venues, but would be nice for people whose bathrooms are external). The toiletries are not as good as they used to be either. The rooms are not air conditioned or soundproof, which is fine considering it is a heritage property but we had really noisy people sat outside our room talking until after midnight - I suppose just enjoying themselves, but it was pretty annoying when trying to sleep. There were other things I could say, but...I suppose I should say something nice now. The views and location are beautiful and I really hope that my review helps to promote reinvestment in this place.

This is a heritage listed property. Not a fancy hotel. The facilities are in keeping with the heritage of tge property. Great to see it preserved in this way, but may not suit everyone. Personally, I like the fact they have kept everything close to original. Shuttle transport around the property works effectively. Lovely and quiet location, easy trip into Manly by shuttle or cab.

We had booked a Queen Heritage room with a view, 8 months before our stay, which was confirmed at reception. Upon checkin, we were taken to a tiny, dingy and dirty room with no window, no clothes storage and was NOT what we had booked & paid for. We complained and were finaly moved to a Queen Heritage room. This room was great but had no fly screens on the windows, and with large spiders and insects everywhere along with possums walking around under the windows at night, we had to keep them closed at all times. No air con in any of their rooms, so very hot in summer. We also found the constant need to call for a shuttle bus to take us to the car park, breakfast dinning, and every other part of the Q Station annoying, sometimes having to wait 15-20. The property is VERY steep, and walkin to the various parts on the station was really hard work. We think they need to have all the rooms air conditioned. They say it is not inline with the original historic theme of the buildings, BUT, they have oil heaters, LED lighting, cieling fans and hot water systems, so their argument is moot. Would we stay there again, no, unfortunately.

The history, views, beaches and buildings of Q Station are marvellous. Accomodation is somewhat basic: there was an ancient and not entirely pleasant smell to our room, but it added to the experience if we set our minds to it. The mattress was poor. Because the roads around the Station are very narrow cars are not allowed, and so shuttle busses take you everywhere. The experience of being regularly piled into a bus with 8 or 9 others is great; it feels communal and opens up conversations. One wonders a little about Covid …. We will go again, and probably pay more for a bigger room.
