Guest Reviews
- Malcolm (10/5): It was quiet, comfortable and staff pleasant. - Breakfast could have been explained more. Such as cost, you have to ask nothing is made obvious. You are told there is a buffet and juice then asked what hot food you want, with no cost explained. Tea and coffee or toast you have to ask for. Could all be a little more forthcoming. No simple food available in the evening. You have to go out for it. Just some soup and a role would be helpful. When away from home food can be fancy and rich, which is nice, but something simple often helps keep a settled stomach.
- Anita (9/5): Very pleasant - Beautiful location. Great food options From out room 32 you could hear the exhaust fan blowing from the kitchen
- Aaron (10/5): -
- Michael (9/5): A lovely place for a short break. - The location was as expected and the meals at restaurant were great. The breakfasts were superb. The staff were only ordinary in bar and reception.
- Daria (9/5): Great customer service and overall stay! - The customer service is exceptional! Very attentive staff at reception and admin. They have accommodated our request related to the payment re-arrangement and provided support even after our stay. The room was beautiful with complimentary bottle of sparkling wine and homemade artisan chocolate with a birthday note on arrival which was a lovely touch. The venue restaurants were great with plenty of options and again great customer service. Thank you, we will be back with our kids next time.
- Evelyn (8/5): Love the area and the view. - Location and view Getting old
- Mary (9/5): -
- Kennedy (10/5): - Atmosphere was fantastic the view was amazing and the staff were friendly and attentive.

- Lara (9/5): Bannisters delivers the best of Mollymook with delicious dining and excellent service to boot. - Lovely tranquil setting, great views. Exceptional service - unfussy but very attentive and proactive. Great food at the restaurants. Great facilities - including EV charging.
- Céline (10/5): -
- Kevin (9/5): -
- Brooke (9/5): -
- Werner (7/5): Not meeting expectations. - The location is stunning! - Beaches and the greater neighbourhood are quite inviting. Hiltop, a nice golf course only a few kilometres away. Dinner at the pool bar was pleasant. We stayed in Room # 8. - In front of us a ‘temporary’ fence, (which has been there for already 2 years…) with its main entrance to a storage room for employees of the pool bar and the gardeners i.e. no real privacy possible. The bed on the terrace needs repair, since it accepts only one position… The Homepage gives the impression of sizeable infinity pool…. This is not the case. My expectations for serious swimming went down the drain… The internet is working at the pool area - which is nice, however was ‘a joke’ elsewhere… It’s difficult to darken the room i.e. the ‘nights’ were shortened significantly… The personell in general was attentive, friendly however only a few real professionals among them.
- PierreChappaz (8/5): -
- Nick (10/5): Wonderful break, unwinding after hectic Christmas week. - Amazing location, clean and luxurious rooms N/A
- Tigeann (10/5): -
- Dutta (10/5): - Beautiful location
- Claire (8/5): Beautiful location but not cheap! - Perfect location for us to attend a friend’s special birthday. The birthday lunch was excellent as was the service. It was very expensive for us travelling from the UK.
- Amanda (3/5): Incredibly overpriced - Beautiful location and friendly staff Very tired facilities, mouldy bathroom and paint chipped off bathrooms. Rubbish in halls outside room. Noisey. I did email the property privately but there was no reply. For over $800 for one night it was no in very good condition so disappointing really
- Kirsty (9/5): Lovely boutique hotel - one for the foodies - Amazing food, lovely room. Nothing
- Susan (9/5): -
- Brian (10/5): - What a special place!
- Noella (10/5): - Staff were very helpful, receptionist was friendly and helpful. Restaurant staff very friendly and polite. Bar staff at the pool bar not as friendly and helpful. Seem not interested
- Simona (8/5): Comfortable stay. - Well appointed Some staff could have been more attentive including the person greeting us at reception who took a while to look up and greet us
- jane (8/5): -
- debby (8/5): Calm and lovely hotel - Clean and modern with lots of natural light and there’s a great view of the ocean from the pool. Huge and spacious room Wish the pool stayed open for longer and would be nice to have welcome snacks available in the room
- Jacqui (10/5): - Great weekend getaway
- Verified traveler (8/5): relaxing but needs a facelift - showing some signs of wear and tear, toilet was very dirty - dark marks at the back which were off-putting. The location is lovely, bed comfy, quiet and peaceful but not the type of luxury accommodation which you would expect at that price point.
- Nicholle (9/5): Very pleasant, but quite expensive. - Location and the staff. Great size rooms. Lovely property with a great pool bar. The Rick Stein Restaurant was very disappointing and very expensive.
- Nicole (10/5): - Beautiful spot, great view, gorgeous suite x
- Fiona (10/5): We were upgraded to the penthous due to bad weather during the week and loved the gorgeous suite - I loved the yoghurt with berries and granola in the buffet delicious I couldn’t stay longer !
- John (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jennifer (10/5): Relaxing. - Plenty of eating options. Great scenery, quiet location. Everything was great
- Genna (10/5): - Always an enjoyable place to stay, including in the colder months when less people stay there. Watching the sun rise over the horizon early morning, is every photographers dream moment. Breakfast in the mornings is a must...the views, the coffee, the eggs Benedict, what a perfect way to start the day. Will definitely be returning many more times...
- David (10/5): - Great stay, dinner was first class
- Christopher (10/5): Exceptional -
- Melinda (10/5): We will return - Everything Nothing
- Alex (8/5): Great stay in a nice location, great way to relax - Room was lovely, overlooking the water. The pool was great, so was the pool food menu. The breakfast options were also great. We couldnt get into Rick Steins for dinner, so we had dinner at rooftop bar and grill at the Pavillion and had a great meal. A bath in our room would have been great.
- Mary (9/5): Superb - Thank you for a lovely, peaceful stay. The property is so private and it is a joy to go to sleep listening to the waves. The room was lovely and the food was fantastic!
- Xabian (10/5): - Great
- Alise (8/5): Mollymook is a lovely costal town - IT Is Lovely. All the staff were very friendly. I did think for the money it may have been a little more of 'An Experience'. We were there for 2 nights. Not much option for dining if you were there longer. Food around the pool was really good But small menu, if you'd had it for lunch 2 days you really didn't want it for dinner. We dined in The restaurant which was lovely but its more expensive, so 2 dinners here is at a cost. It would be nice if there was a different menu for dinner by the pool. I think a small touch like a cool face washer or Fruit something a little extra would make a big addition. We did love our stay thanks to the staff. For $1765.00 for 2 nights I just felt it was nothing extra than a nice hotel.. Nothing to make it feel like it was an experience.
- Tina (10/5): Everything was special and made us feel welcome - The location, food and the art classes Nothing
- Eve (5/5): Passable -
- Gary (10/5): Perfect resort for short break. - Well appointed room Beautiful decor Bed and shower View from our balcony Pool bar and pool Rick Stein restaurant a highlight Excellent reception staff. Laid back unpretentious vibe Breakfast Nil
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The team were wonderful, friendly helpful and efficient, particularly the waiter who greeted and seated us for dinner and on duty the next morning at breakfast. She was happy and clearly loves her job. Sadly, we didn’t grab her name. We came to unwind and rest but sadly found our room overlooking the pool a little too noisy and lacking privacy. The location is wonderful; however, I feel this hotel is hugely overpriced compared to other hotels in the same bracket.
- Kristine (8/5): We had a lovely stay, thank you - Love our room and pool area. At breakfast, the pineapple juice was from a tin, it tasted awful. I juice fresh pineapple 🍍 all the time at home, it’s not difficult or expensive.
- Carol (10/5): Exceptional -
- Peter (10/5): A beautiful, luxurious place to spend time in a lovely environment. - The breakfast was lovely. Staff were exceptional. And the location of breakfast overlooking the gardens is a beautiful spot. Very comfortable bed and able to sleep with door open to enjoy the sea breeze was absolutely beautiful. Lovely balcony overlooking pool and ocean. Lovely infinity pool at a beautiful temperature, with a great pool bar service. Pool bar provided lovely, relaxed meal options. The overall experience is luxurious and relaxing. nothing to dislike
- Pat (5/5): Overpriced - The location is great. Staff great and very friendly It was extremely overpriced, to be fair. The fridge is extremely small in the room and there is no freezer.. not entirely happy with the cleanliness of the room.
- Tania (4/5): Overpriced and disappointing - The location is stunning. The staff were friendly and helpful. The infinity pool is spectacular The breakfast was good with a large selection of hot and cold choices. Coffee was good. The whole place was worn, tired and dated. The room was ok but very worn and needed a revamp, outdated i.e. no usb sockets. One of the basins in the bathroom was very cracked which looked dreadful and is probably unhygienic. Lighting was dreadful. Awful bedding, basic type not luxury at all. Not enough sunbeds for guests. The building felt like a 1970's motel being set around a car park. Outlook from the rooms was great overlooking the garden and sea. In my opinion it was overpriced for what you get @ £500 per night
- John (9/5): Here to wind down after a family wedding. It was the ideal way to wind down after all the excitement - Its position and style
- Jeremy (9/5): Superb -
- Dean (7/5): Disappointed - Location No we’re to chill and have a drink
- Filippo (9/5): Superb - Great staff great breakfast great rooms and view Pool could of been warmer
- Gerard (10/5): - Thoroughly enjoyed our four days stay. Excellent!
- Simon (10/5): Gastronomically fantastic - The food, the ambience, the staff, basically everything! I loved it all!
- Cat (9/5): Superb - Had a room on 2nd floor overlooking sea with spa on balcony - very nice
- Mary (10/5): - The beauty of the South Pacific ocean - colour and sounds of the waves was unforgettable
- Stephen (8/5): - The staff were great, very kind, and the view/location was amazing. The food was amazing, the car park has plenty of room, and the bar and pool area is fantastic. However, the bathroom was not clean enough, specifically the shower and bath. The room as a whole wasn’t finished to a standard that deserved $1k per night. The lamp shades were stained, the paint of the walls was clearly old and chipped, the wifi router in the top corner of the room flashed a bright light all night, and the outside furniture was old and tatty.
- Peter (10/5): Great time with my son ‘ daughter in law. Lovely place & staff. - Everything. Nothing
- Georgina (10/5): - Service was lovely. View was wonderful and beach only a short walk. Dining at Rick Stein Restaurant on the property will remain memorable
- Lisa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sophie (4/5): It’s a nice hotel but definitely overpriced. - The view Definitely, not value for money
- South (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (9/5): Superb -
- Lisa (8/5): Very good -
- Donald (7/5): Good -
- Jay (10/5): - An amazing weekend away. We were very comfortable and really had the opportunity to relax.
- Hodges (1/5): high expectations, underdelivered and everything overpriced - Pool over priced accommodation, the quality of the accommodation, breakfast not being included even though I paid over $1000 for one night
- Larissa (9/5): great place to stay for a short getaway - very clean and comfortable
- Joanne (7/5): The ocean view was a dream and the staff were all lovely but the room did not deliver on expectations for the price leve - The ocean view was beautiful and the staff were excellent The room felt like a motel room even down to hearing next doors TV all night. The toilet was in the shower, so didn’t live up to the price tag. They also didn’t replace tea bags when they serviced the room
- Liora (9/5): Superb -
- Inoke (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
- Laura (10/5): Exceptional -
- William (9/5): Superb -
- Stephanie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kerrie (6/5): 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.
- Leah (10/5): Breakfast was beautiful. - Beautiful outlook over the ocean, could hear the waves, see the whales. The balcony was perfect. the room was quiet, the bed comfortable. Water bottles, magazines, blanket and couch, along with the desk for WFH was perfect. I needed a couple of other options for pillows, I am very sensitive to pillow height and needed a softer option
- Leahb (10/5): Exceptional - Location was fantastic! Water views were beautiful and the pool bar was such a nice way to unwind
- Maddison (10/5): - 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.
- Ellia (8/5): - 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
- Jessie (8/5): Very good - Was very well decorated and very clean. Floor heating in the bathroom was amazing. I was on the bottom floor which was a bit of a shame as I could not really see the beautiful view that I would have see from a higher level.
- Sarah (10/5): - The location is lovely. The facilities are just right for a couple. Great views. The Pool Bar and of Course Rick Stein’s restaurant is lovely.
- Sophie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Georgia (7/5): Nice but not amazing - The view of the ocean is absolutely beautiful! The pool bar was a really nice spot to eat by the pool. The rooms are spacious and it’s such a relaxing spot! The rooms and the restaurant (rick steins and where breakfast is located) is a bit dated and stuffy for the price point, especially when compared to Port Stephens. If the Pavilion was placed where By the Sea is located, it would be amazing. The pool and the views don’t otherwise justify $700/night.
- Dianna (6/5): - Such a beautiful place let down by the Lumpy bed Buy your beds from Rydges hotels
- Jaimee (6/5): Pleasant enough, but not for the price. - Location was nice The screen door didn’t work properly. There was a bunch of moths/ mosquitoes that got into the room.
- Kathryn (9/5): Bucket List stay. - shame about the Martinis!!!! - Room friendly staff and other customers facilities view location Pool was advertised as heated and was soooooo cold! but lovely Dined at The Pavilion - v average and worst (warm) martini for $27 ever!!!!
- Sally (9/5): Superb -
- Moira (8/5): Very good -
- Imogen (10/5): Exceptional - Location was exceptional, staff were exceptional, services were exceptional. I would recommend Bannisters by the sea to anyone and everyone. No other hotel will compare to this stay.
- Kathryn (10/5): Great more live music would be great - Pool food surrounds very beautiful! Especially love gum tree🌸
- James (10/5): - Amazing stay will definitely visit again
