Still a lovely property - food was exceptional and service was top class. Being greeted by live music on Friday night was a lovely touch. In comparison to my last visit this time there were so many young children which made dining at Rock Steins a little less enjoyable as they were running around. The parking was not ideal - I parked at the pub next door for a night as I couldn’t get a space in the hotel car parks - although it was Grand final night so pub goers were parked in the hotel too.

We had an amazing mid week stay at Bannisters, it was a true resort style break. The hotel had a great vibe, staff were lovely and attentive and the pool and views were gorgeous. We enjoyed the multiple food options, including Rick Stein restaurant and the breakfast was so far above expectations for a continental style, I could have stayed all day enjoying all the options! Nice touches all around such as welcome drinks, water and sunscreen available by the pool. 11/10 would love to return!

As soon I entered, I was happy and safe. James was very kind to me. The environment and the furnishings was relaxing and calm for me. Room 206 was quiet, could see the water, the huge frangipani was amazing the rosellas singing and saying hello. It made me feel like I could live here.
