The station is located on Bay Road, Waverton, in the North Sydney Council local government area of New South Wales, Australia.

The North Shore of Sydney can be defined as a relatively narrow strip of land extending from Milsons Point to Waitara, a distance of approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi).

The Booking Office for Waverton Railway Station was built on the overhead bridge with steps leading down to each of the platforms at the time of opening.

The station received unusual attention in January 2007, when part of the Platform 2 face was seen to have an apparition of Jesus Christ on it.

Church leaders are unconvinced but remaining open-minded about the apparition, which has been explained as a combination of worn away paint and moss.

The current overhead booking office was rebuilt in 1993, substantially in the form and detail of the original 1893 structure and makes an important contribution to the streetscape and surrounding setting.
