"Powerfully Inspiring."

Situated on Manly's North Head, deep in the heart of Sydney's National Park, Q Station Retreat is just 7 miles from Sydney and 1000 miles from care.

Q Station is a contemporary take of the former North Head Quarantine Station. Originally occupied by the Garrigal people, North Head was a meeting place with strong spiritual significance. In the 1830s a quarantine station was established, which operated until 1984.

Migrants suspected of carrying contagious disease were quarantined at the site to protect the local Sydney community from infection.

Originally chosen for its isolation and safe anchorage options, the site today comprises 65 buildings, several archeological sites and spectacular vantage points for viewing Sydney Harbour and the Sydney Harbour National Park.

Now leased and in the care of the Mawland Group, the site has been transformed into Q Station, a place for powerful, rejuvenating experiences to explore the future by connecting the past to the present.

"Escape the ordinary."

Enjoy fresh modern cuisine inspired by cultures that once visited Quarantine Station and prepared to perfection by Q Station's world class chef.

The Boilerhouse Restaurant is open daily for guests and visitors to enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just a cup of coffee.

Start your dining experience with a drink on the outdoor terrace complete with views of idyllic Quarantine Beach and captivating Sydney Harbour. Move inside where above the open plan kitchen, a mezzanine level offers a heritage style dining area of what was once the old Boilerhouse.

From the restaurant walk onto Quarantine Beach and have a swim before or after your meal. While you enjoy wine and conversation your children can enjoy the beach.
