Third time for us and it has never disappointed.
Pros:

We had a Heritage Harbour View suite which is very well-positioned to enjoy a wide view f the harbour back towards the city and comprises 2 rooms so plenty of space for bags and clothes hanging.
Boiler room restaurant serves top quality food by friendly, engaging wait staff. Reception is friendly and efficient.

Cons:

Shuttle buses are getting shabby. Wharf cafe does not serve breakfast on weekdays despite pamphlet saying it does. Q Station faces the sea so is starting to show weathering of external surfaces. There are no drawers or shelves to unpack clothes.

Comfortable with great views
Pros:

View was great, Room basic but comfortable, Heater worked well to warm the room up

Cons:

Meal in the restaurant (Boiler house) was average especially for the cost. Visitors need to be aware that the rooms are away from the car park and there is a shuttle service to get you back & forth. The service is good, but can be a bit frustrating if you just want to nip into Manly.

wish we could of stayed 2 nights.
Pros:

Stunning views. Gorgeous room. loved the history. staff driving the shuttle were very knowledgeable and friendly

Cons:

We attended a party down at the boiler room. More outside heaters or fires would of been good as it was absolutely freezing. Also no music was allowed. Bit weird for a function space to have no music !

Pros:

Accommodation was great. Fantastic views. Ghost tour was engaging and well organised. Shuttle service was reliable.

Cons:

Booking.com described the room facilities as tea/coffee making facilities + fridge. When we got there the cottage had full kitchen facilities + toaster & microwave. Very frustrating as I would have packed accordingly if I had known this. Also, the wharf cafe advertised it's opening hours for Sunday as closes at 6.00pm. We got there at 4.30pm & were told by the shuttle bus service that they'd closed early at 4.00pm. We knew the restaurant was not open for dinner on Sundays however, with the Cafe closed & no ingredients to cook in the cottage kitchen we were forced to travel into Manly to get a meal & be back in time for the ghost tour. Unfortunately, the kitchen & main bathroom had ants.
