Lovely location . Although we arrived late from Sydney on a wet evening the staff was very helpful . They organised in-house meal from the restaurant and were accomodating. Morning breakfast was yummy and lovely set up of the restaurant . Will be back in the summer !

FABULOUS LOCATION!!! The hotel is located right on the ocean with incredible views! It was one of the most peaceful, tranquil places I have had the opportunity to stay . The hotel is tucked away and very small making it so nice. The staff was very accommodating and lovely throughout our stay plus we enjoyed so much we extended our stay an extra night. We stayed in a suite with incredible views, huge outside deck to whale/dolphin watch with binoculars provided in our room and fabulous large bathroom with separate tub/ walk in shower. The infinity pool is absolutely amazing as it overlooks the ocean. The pool restaurant was really nice and great views! Overall the hotel is wonderful due to its location but it does need updating to the rooms. Also, you are limited to food choices and there is no coffee bar/light breakfast snack for very early morning risers. You are provided a Nespresso machine in your room but it only makes coffee, no lattes/specialty coffee drinks. The restaurant opens for breakfast at 7:30am so you have to wait until that time to get a specialty coffee drink/breakfast. Overall it is a great stay and do try to book in one of the suites with the great outdoor decks !

To be honest, If the rates were $400-500 a night it would be a 9 - but at $700 per night I can only rate it a 7. Most areas of the hotel looked tired and needed a new coat of paint or varnish. The room we had was clean and tidy, but lacklustre and needed new carpet and a freshen of the balcony. There were spiderwebs on the balcony and walkways, a couple of cockroaches in our room, the blanket on the bed was old and fraying, the spa in our room was not cleaned each day, and the seafood we had at the restaurant was overcooked. Everything, including staff, was pleasant, but nothing was outstanding - overall a pretty average stay.

Liked: Cleanliness
It was nice and clean and the pool side atmosphere on the Friday afternoon was fun however there is some minor issues , the first being the lack of enthusiasm or help from reception. I have to say the staff were a bit hit and miss with their hospitality. The hotel needs work a refresh as it’s classed as a 5 star and I certainly didn’t see or experience any 5 star perks .
Infinity pool was amazing !

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at Bannisters for my husband's birthday. The room was very clean and spacious with a lovely balcony overlooking the pool. We loved that the hotel supplied binoculars for whale watching too. The infinity pool was definitely the highlight, we enjoyed swimming and chilling by the pool.

Staff were excellent, from cleaners waitresses, reception, nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were clean. We stayed in a spa room which overlooked the pool and ocean. The only reason i gave 4 stars and not 5 stars was that the toilet and shower are together in one area. If you’ve had a shower and then need to use the toilet even after an hour, the floor is still wet from the shower and need to be careful due to it being a bit slippery.
