- Experience the rich history of Sydney's former Quarantine Station, preserved in its original condition.
- Savour diverse dining options, from light snacks to gourmet meals, amidst stunning scenic views.
- Enjoy unique after-dark tours that unveil the mysteries of Q Station and its historical significance.
Located within a 30-hectare site on the North Head of Manly, you will find a unique destination, that is Q Station. An enduring part of Sydney’s history, which once served as the Quarantine Station for migrants arriving in Australia, can now be experienced 365 days a year.
Located in the Sydney Harbour National Park, Q Station offers a wide variety of experiences for day trips or overnight guests. Q Station is a fully integrated destination offering hotel accommodation, unique venues and outdoor sites for events, conferences and weddings, tours and educational programs including the well-known “after-dark tours”, and direct access to Sydney Harbour and the Australian bush. Restaurants and bars offer a wide range of dining options from a light snack to a gourmet dining experience.
You will notice that the buildings have been kept in pristine original condition. Those old yellow paint colours, heavy window panes and high ceilings are all part of the building landscape.
