Brett P. Families - 8/19/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

We visited Q Station as family of 3. the site is exellent, with informative tours, staff and information boards. We dined at The Boilerhouse Kitchen and Bar on Saturday night. 6:30pm booking. The Waitress was very friendly, answering our enquires and took our orders. our drinks and my daughters meal arrive about 20minutes later, advised ours would be out shortly. at 8:00pm we asked about our meals, the waitress appologised for the delay and went to check. she returned and said they would be out shortly. Again! At about 8:20pm the waitress appologised again and advised us our meals had been given to another table and they were redoing them now. we eventually received our meals at about 8:40pm. On the Sunday had a lovely breakfast in the Views Resaurant the enjoyed a Wandering tour of the Quarantine Station site. After the tour we visited the Wharf Cafe and Bar for lunch. We placed our order at 11:50am and were given our table number and advised our order would be ready shortly. we went and sat outside in the sunshine watching our daugther playing in the sand. At 12:40pm we saw the chef and waitress (who had taken our order) walk past carrying plates of food that they were eating from. i approached the counter of the cafe and spoke to the manager and asked how much longer our food would be? Only to be advised by her the cafe had closed. I advised her we were still waiting for our order. The waitress then return and said all orders had been done before closing. The manager then checked the dockets and found our order had not been made and the chef had left and cafe was closed, therefore the food could not be supplied. I requested a refund which had to be processed by the Q Station reception staff and took 5 days to finalise. We will return to Q Station for accommodation and further tours, but i will find it hard to return to the Boilerhouse Kitched and Bar and the Wharf Cafe and Bar.

Dear Brett P., Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback about your recent family stay at Q Station. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the site, our informative tours, information boards and the service provided by our team. We are particularly pleased to know that you intend to return for accommodation and further tours. That said, we are extremely sorry about your experiences with both the Boilerhouse Kitchen & Bar and the Wharf Café & Bar. The delays and communication surrounding your dinner were clearly very frustrating. Waiting more than two hours for your meals, only to then be told that the original meals had been served to another table, is certainly not the experience we want our guests to have. We are equally concerned about what occurred at the Wharf Café. You placed your order well before the advertised closing time and were advised that it would be ready shortly. To then discover, almost an hour later, that your order had not been prepared and that the kitchen had closed is understandably very disappointing. We also apologise for the inconvenience caused by having to arrange your refund through Reception and for the time it took to be finalised. We sincerely appreciate your recognition of the friendly service provided by the waitress and your positive comments about breakfast and the Wandering tour. However, we understand why these dining experiences have affected your confidence in returning to our venues. Your feedback has been shared with the relevant food and beverage management teams for review, particularly around order management, communication, closing procedures and ensuring that outstanding orders are accounted for before a venue closes. We appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention and giving us the opportunity to address them. Thank you again for your feedback and for your willingness to return to Q Station. We hope that on your next visit we can provide the consistently positive experience you deserve. Sincerely, The Q Team

Dear David, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While I wish you had a better experience, it is feedback like this that we learn from and use to improve. We work hard to deliver an exceptional guest experience, and it's apparent in this case that we fell short. If you give us a chance to earn back your trust, I can assure you that we will do our best to give you the great hotel experience that so many of our guests have grown so fond of. Sincerely, The Q Team

Pip T. Families - 8/17/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

This was my 3rd visit. Usually I would expect a special holiday stay like ours to be like home or better but this was like cabin school camp. There wasn’t adequate towels for all guests and there wasn’t adequate tea/coffee or hot chocolate just 2 of each which meant sharing cups and towels and rationing things. There was blood stains from a previous guest on the quilt, the heater kept sparking and the shower was rusted with a loose soap holder.

Dear Pip, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and particularly for returning to Q Station for your third visit. We are very sorry that this stay fell well short of the experience you have come to expect from us, especially for what should have been a special holiday. We sincerely apologise for the issues you encountered. The lack of sufficient towels and in-room refreshments for all guests is not acceptable, and we understand how disappointing it would have been to feel that you needed to share or ration basic amenities. More concerning are your comments regarding the blood staining on the quilt, the heater sparking, and the condition of the shower and soap holder. We take these matters very seriously, particularly the cleanliness and safety concerns. Your feedback has been escalated to the relevant teams for immediate investigation and follow-up. We are especially disappointed that your stay left you feeling that the accommodation was more like a school camp than the comfortable holiday experience you expected. As a returning guest, we value your loyalty and appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We hope we can have the opportunity to restore your confidence in Q Station and provide the standard of stay you have every right to expect on your next visit. Sincerely, The Q Team
