My stay at Q Station was quite an interesting experience. The surroundings were absolutely gorgeous, making it a beautiful and tranquil retreat, but there were a few issues that took away from my overall enjoyment. The rooms were basic and lacked essential comforts like proper ventilation and air conditioning. On the dining front, the service could be improved, especially during busy times. While the historical significance of the location is impressive, I wish there had been better options for food availability and faster internet access.

The room was quaint and clean, but we did encounter some issues with the hot water and noise during the night. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking to explore nature and history, but some amenities could improve for better comfort.

Our stay at Q Station was memorable mainly due to its stunning location and interesting history. The view over Sydney Harbour was breathtaking, and the private beach provided a relaxing spot to enjoy the surroundings. However, the accommodations were quite basic with a few frustrating aspects, especially the lack of air conditioning and limited dining options. Overall, it felt like a unique experience but not necessarily a luxury getaway.

My stay at the hotel was a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of Sydney. The views of the Sydney Harbour were breathtaking, and the room was comfortable and clean. I enjoyed the history of the Quarantine Station, and the complimentary shuttle service was a nice touch. However, the hotel felt a bit isolated, which made trips to Manly a bit time-consuming, especially without the former shuttle service into downtown.
