Q Station Retreat, North Head Manly      

From the moment you arrive, you will feel as if you are a million miles from the hustle and bustle and you have stepped into a haven for rejuvenation.

Imagine...
You’ve arrived by water taxi or car, you’ve been to the visitor centre and booked our immersion theatre show called Defiance for tonight, you’ve checked in at reception, you’ve then been taken on our people mover to your room.
... Your room is crisp and fresh and you’ve just discovered the views that overlook Sydney Harbour.
... You’ve unpacked and you are now sitting on the veranda with your favourite drink, relaxing and unwinding from the hustle and bustle of the day... just enjoying the panorama.
... You’re looking forward to the meal you’ve booked at the Boilerhouse Restaurant.
... You’re thinking about the other activities you have lined up. You’ve organised to hire some snorkelling gear from the Visitor Centre. That’s first on your list for tomorrow after you’ve enjoyed breakfast.
... You’re also contemplating going for a walk to North Head a bit later in the day or a little afternoon shopping in Manly.

All in all, you’re looking forward to rejuvenating over the next couple of days.

As well as the activies listed above, if the weather is inclement, we also have communal lounges to while away an afternoon with a book or a board-game with old friends or new aquaintances.

We also have a number of other recreational facilities for you to enjoy. Why not hire a kayak from a local kayak company and see the harbour and North Head from a different perspective. Then, there’s our beach for a relaxing swim.
If walking is your thing, there are a number of walks you can do in the Manly area including the famous Manly to Spit Bridge Walk and the North Head Santuary Walks... whether it’s an hour’s stroll or a more strenuous walk, there’s something to suit most tastes.
