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, that once served as the Quarantine Station for migrants arriving in Australia.

Located in the Sydney Harbour National Park, The Wharf Cafe at Q-Station is located in part of the old buildings right on the harbour front. 

With wonderful district views towards Manly, there are both outdoor and indoor tables. The cafe menu can be found by clicking on the link below:
