KimAustraliaWe enjoyed our stay
The location was excellent, the views amazing
Some of staff were unfriendly , we booked a ghost tour which was cancelled
There were a few maintenance issue that needed to be addressed
SiddiquiAustraliaWould love to come back and stay here but definitely would not eat at the cafe. It was expensive too.
The shuttle bus, the check in was excellent, the rooms were very clean
The cafe had terrible food at breakfast and the service wasn’t great. Food tasted like it was old and reheated.
Deedee GavanasAustraliaWe will definitely be back again.
BarryAustraliaGreat place to relax
.
DonnaAustraliaClose to perfect , we will be back 😊
Location is just beautiful. Staff were very helpful and friendly.
Would have been good if cafe didn’t pick a Monday to be closed as other options were also closed on Mondays .
LisaAustraliaFriendly staff, the shuttle bus into Manly was great. Nice tidy room. Beautiful location. Music at The Boiler House was great on Sunday.
It was a shame that the café was shut for renovation.

- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.

Questions about Q Station
What time is check-in and check-out at Q Station?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Q Station allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Q Station?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Q Station have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Q Station?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Q Station have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Q Station?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 2:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Q Station?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
Where is Q Station?
