Stayed in room #34 balcony suite, fantastic, spacious comfortable & exceptional views. Afternoon drinks around the pool bar overlooking the ocean was so relaxing and breakfast was amazing, a la carte with plenty of choices, barista coffee, complimentary fruit juices, fresh fruit, croissants and jam & friendly staff to greet you of a morning. Reception staff extremely helpful & obliging. Highly recommend, not to long a drive from Sydney

Lovely staff at check in, the ocean deluxe room facing east was wonderful, spotted whales and dolphins too during our stay. The breakfasts are really fresh and generous, the pizza and cocktails on arrival were sublime and provided by a warm and professional waiter 'Dimitris' who went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Lovely ambience, overall a great experience, we will be back!

don’t go if you are not a couple. singles -Not good enough for Bannisters By the Sea. No twin beds. Fine ALL other places have Queen beds that can be made into singles. Seemingly too simple for Bannisters by the Sea. Bigots. We are 2 sisters travelling together and this was for my birthday. If I get the chance to badmouth you I will.

This is an outstanding hotel. I could park close to my room, which was very easily entered without having to go down a corridor. The room itself was most tastefully furnished, spotlessly clean and very well equipped and maintained. There was a beautiful panoramic view of the sea from the front windows. It was wonderful going to sleep with the sound of waves. There was also a sliding insect screen. The bed was most comfortable and the air conditioning worked quietly and well. The bathroom was perhaps a little small but had a good shower and plenty of high quality towels. Contrary to another review I saw, the toilet in my bathroom was quite close to the shower but not in it. Binoculars were thoughtfully provided to admire the view. Staff members I encountered were polite and helpful. Dinner in the restaurant was particularly good. Ambience and service there were excellent. I also enjoyed breakfast although I would have preferred it to start at 7.00 am rather than 7.30 am. There is much lovely coastal scenery near the hotel that I saw on my walks from it. I can highly recommend this hotel and will stay in it again.

This is the most disappointing place I have ever visited. What you get is way off the mark for the price. The best part of Bannisters by the Sea is view. Our room had a beautiful view over the sea and the pool. However everything else was a disappointment for the price we paid. It’s basically a motel. All rooms go directly to the outside straight into the car park. Every morning of our stay the cleaners woke us up at 7.45 banging their mop buckets and bins directly outside our room. If we forgot the do not disturb sign they were knocking at 9am to clean our room!! The service was entirely for the benefit of staff timetables. Breakfast was 7.30-10 am strict, so no good if you’re after a lazy morning or prefer to eat breakfast after exercise. We arrived at 9.50 one morning to find the buffet being packed away and were told that we’d better be quick as the kitchen closes at 10. We had the same luck at the pool bar when we were told at 2.35 pm that the kitchen closed at 2.30!! There wasn’t much emphasis on providing what guests want. It was a rigid timetable that guests had to adhere to. Our room was pleasant but was nowhere near what you expect at this price. The room was tired and poorly designed (no plugs by mirrors so had to stand in the bathroom to dry hair, horrid carpets, toilet IN the shower!). We also had an awful time with crickets during our stay. They were everywhere. I was even disappointed with the Rick Stein restaurant. It was nice but nothing special at all and the decor was tired. There isn’t a great deal to do in Mollymook so I would recommend a car. We had a nice day out a Cupitts Winery and drove to some beaches further north (Hyams Beach and Green Patch beach where there’s lots of kangaroos and wallabys). So, I do not recommend this place. There are thousands of places in the world and quite a few in Australia where you will get much more for your money. I

This is our 4th time here and it’s still great. We had room 22 which is a suite overlooking the ocean and the pool . Everything was wonderful. We had dinner in the Rick Stein restaurant ( see separate review) , drinks at the pool bar, in room dining and all were top notch. Staff were efficient and friendly ( special shout out to the lady who brought our in room dining meals) . The room itself is stunning and the bed comfy. No complaints al all.
