Replace the bed !!!

Not first time we have stayed here. But now property is tired. Still nice but major renovation works needed like replacing spa, glass balcony doors and some external timber. Inside carpets have been wet and the smell was definitely present. Bed was very saggy and sadly uncomfortable. Location is fantastic Restaurant is really good (we found mid week better than the busier Friday night). Unfortunately this venue is used by unruly hens parties which is never pleasant for anyone else. Overall we enjoyed mid week night when property was quieter and better organised than weekend.

Amazing view, sound of the ocean to fall asleep to was incredible. Room is a bit dated, needs better upkeep. Bathroom was nice enough but you need extra towels to wipe the floor after showering so you’re not getting the toilet wet. Also had someone else’s hair all over the floor and walls so was not cleaned properly. The porta cot for our 7 week old baby was atrocious, we had to go into Ulladulla and buy one as we didn’t bring ours from home because $1700 for our two night stay at a luxury hotel we thought their porta cot would be sufficient enough.

The location is beautiful as it’s right on the water. I was unable to order room service at 7pm as the app wouldn’t let me and the room service menu didn’t have a lot of options. The room service breakfast was delicious though

Bannisters is our favourite place to visit we absolutely love coming here every year. The rooms are great always clean and such great views, the pool is perfect, it’s so nice and quiet and tranquil - the perfect escape. This time we had our new baby in tow who woke up during our meal at Rick Steins and they were so amazing they just packed up our meal and sent it as room service, no hassle at all. Couldn’t speak more highly of our long weekend away. We had booked through Wotif and were worried after seeing some reviews but called Bannisters, who assured us they had our booking and it was a completely seamless process. We saved $400 going through Wotif so would definitely try to book through them again!
