Natalie M. Families - 3/29/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Unique place. Allow extra time to soak up the history and explore the location. Mini bus drivers were awesome - friendly, went out of the way to be helpful. Zipped us everywhere for free. Location was unique and although a couple of hours way from Manly, regular shuttles can get you there and back. Rooms rustic but comfortable.

Michele F. Couples - 3/29/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Easy check-in and out. Great staff lovely room. Great views, quiet and value for money.

Dear Michele, Thank you for the great review of our hotel! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again very soon. Sincerely, The QStation Team

Carina G. Solo - 3/29/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Room was ok, very hot! Was told at checkin that there was a 24hr shuttle. Rang twice around 5.20am, sorry...reception closed. Thanks! Had to walk up the bloody hill back to the carpark. Asthma now activated again. Not very happy

Cassandra K. Business - 3/29/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Beautiful location, great bed, average amenities in rooms and nil air con! Staff were absolutely amazing, food was great at the conference

Mark S. Couples - 3/29/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Ok - but check-in was really bad and shoved out the back with no view. Then checked out and accused of having 2 Rooms and they wanted to charge me? Was meant to get front room with view and instead given back room in 3rd Class section celebrating my wife’s 60th birthday present!
