Your best bet would be a station with a recreation module that serve as a means for resting your crews, you then add some maintenance modules to it to serve whatever ships you need docking there for maintenance. The recreation module is 100.000t and each maintenance module is 5000t and service 200t of regular ship. So a station that is 360.000t would be able to service about 10.000t of ship.
You will have to station it at a planet, moon or asteroid to use it though so you can then ship fuel, minerals and supplies to that body and role-play that it is actually on the station.
