I Found a very limited Food & Drinks menu (3 x red wines) and for what they were not really diverse enough but certainly didn't miss on the pricing. The rooms for what you pay are limited in information and size compared to other places i have stayed. not a great start was told i was probably going to have to park in the bottom car park BUT, was NOT told that there was a lift to get back up, the hill is a killer! Summary, i can't think of another word but overrated would need convincing to stay again.

Gorgeous location, easy drive from Sydney, would have been a nice relaxing weekend if we hadn't have been woken up at 6am from someones uncontrolled child that proceeded to scream, slam doors and throw things at the wall for the next 3 hours....whilst it had a massive meltdown.... maybe put couples with couples and people with children together? Housekeeping is a bit lax, found old chocolate wrappers behind the bedside tables, and something on the carpet next to the bed that didn't look to pleasant....I opted not to walk on that side..... but otherwise it's a great place.

We had a wonderful few days at Bannisters! The heated pool with the most amazing view was a great way to spend our afternoons. The breakfast was great and staff were all very friendly and helpful especially Sara Lee. The room was spacious and clean and there are a number of dining options so you don’t have to drive into town. There is also a beautiful walk on the beach accessible at the back of the hotel. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Good stay but not as good as Mollymook
The hotel was good. Just a bit disappointed as compared to Mollymook sister hotel. Having a restaurant/bar in reception did not make the trip relaxing. Was to be a romantic weekend but didn't feel much like it.

We had a wonderful 5 nights at Bannisters and one of the highlights was dinner at the Rick Stein restaurant for our wedding anniversary The weather was sunny at the start of the week and I enjoyed relaxing by the pool. The staff were always friendly and helpful with suggestions of things to do. We have never been to this area of NSW before and have thoroughly enjoyed our time! Thank you
