Lovely meal and trip - Prior to borading we had a complmentary drink of our choice at Drysden Station. On the train we had a 5 course meal which was delicious. Drink prices are very reasonable onboard. The views are not spectacular but the experience excellent. There was a small technical issue during the trip where we lost power. It was on that stinking hot day of 40 degrees plus which did make it a bit uncomfortable but was rectified reasonably quickly.

A fun dining experience - Train moves slowly and stops a couple of times to stretch legs. Staff were friendly and helpful, food was lovely and well prepared and presented.

A bucket list must! - The Q train was an amazing experience, tantalising the taste buds along with an introduction to the inspiration of the dish, so you weren’t just eating the food, you were indulging in the wholeness of the experience and the wonderful local produce. The atmosphere and the service was impeccable, including the beautiful landscape of the journey to Queenscliff and return. Highly recommend it be put on everyone’s bucket list 🥰

Superb - I don’t know whether you would call this a hidden gem or not but the day on the Q Train was absolutely fantastic. From the time you arrive you are greeted with a friendly, professional service. The food is sublime and the service outstanding. Food is not only served but explained in detail its ingredients and origins. Could not fault anything from our trip today.

It's a great experience.... - It's a great experience. The steam train was really exciting to see. The food was amazing and luxurious. The view wasn't always that amazing, but still totally worth it if you want to spoil yourself.
