Q Station
Relax. Rejuvenate. Be inspired. Escape for a day or stay for a few nights.
Swim. Snorkel. Kayak. Bush walk. Or simply relax. Experience the invigorating, restorative beauty of the Australian bush and the salt sea air. Then dine on the edge of Sydney's amazing Harbour at the Boilerhouse Restaurant.
Feel history's power with Q Station's immersion theatre production, Defiance. Host a meeting, a conference. Celebrate a birthday, an anniversary, or just get away for the weekend. Powerfully inspiring. Truly unique. Q Station is located at the historic site of the former Quarantine Station, North Head, five minutes from Manly and 30 minutes from the heart of Sydney.
about us
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.
