Absolutely 100 stars. Fabulous place. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. My room and balcony perfect. Will be back there soon

During my recent stay at Bannisters Port Stephens, I had the pleasure of experiencing exceptional hospitality and a serene environment. Accommodated on the fourth floor, the room was elegantly designed, featuring modern decor and a thoughtful layout. The standout feature was the sky window in the bathroom, which offered a unique and mesmerizing view of the starlit night—an enchanting touch to the overall ambiance.  The balcony provided a close connection to nature, with friendly kookaburras and parakeets adding charm to the outdoor experience. Their presence enhanced the tranquil setting, making the stay even more delightful. The hotel also ensured a warm welcome by greeting guests with sweets, a thoughtful gesture that set the tone for a comfortable and inviting stay.  Safety and convenience were well-prioritized, with an open car park that remained secure throughout the night. The overall atmosphere reflected a perfect balance between relaxation and refined comfort, making Bannisters Port Stephens a highly recommended destination for those seeking both luxury and a connection with nature.

The staff were the best I think that I have ever encountered at Reception Tara & Anna were just the best the entire time we were there. They always had a smile on their face & they were genuinely friendly & helpful & could not do enough to help

Great place to stay. My fourth visit. Rick Stein restaurant is a big draw.

Very well presented and the staff were friendly and very helpful

Very quiet location, great restaurant, food was amazing

Bannisters Soldier's Point.Great place for a mini break or holiday treat and to use this hotel as your base. Staff in all areas are excellent.  Hotel itself is very clean and comfortable, and an efficient daily service is done, but no denying that it is a remodelled hotel of years gone by.  Owners do their best with what they have available.  Pool and the relaxed setting and bar around and pool is welcoming and calming. The continental breakfast is fabulous - plentiful in the array of options, and its quality is second to none. I have eaten at Rick Stein's restaurant for dinner on a previous stay but not this time.  Definitely a nice meal was served but I found it to be a little over-rated and not worth the cost of the small servings, even trying to use Rick's name to promote the restaurant.On the bottom level of Bannisters is the Cheeky Dog Hotel that is pumping, busy and noisy on the weekend when I went.  Not my scene! The Club across the road served me much better. Disappointing aspect of Bannisters is the parking options for guests - it is all such a hassle with a steep driveway for most guests to conquer. Most need to park their car far away from reception.  However, there is a little walk to the small lift from the street level at the lower car park where the Cheeky Dog is. This lift carries guests to the reception level but it is still a level walk once out of the lift to physically get to reception. From reception one needs to walk to a different small lift if w

Friends break

The pool/bar/restaurant area was really welcoming and comfortable. Having it central tocthe property makes it easy to access and very inviting. The views were just gorgeous, and the ability to order food and drink from your beach chair was fantastic. The staff were always lovely and accommodating. I never had to look for someone, they were always there at reception with a smile on their face.

Gorgeous location, easy drive from Sydney, would have been a nice relaxing weekend if we hadn't have been woken up at 6am from someones uncontrolled child that proceeded to scream, slam doors and throw things at the wall for the next 3 hours....whilst it had a massive meltdown.... maybe put couples with couples and people with children together?Housekeeping is a bit lax, found old chocolate wrappers behind the bedside tables, and something on the carpet next to the bed that didn't look to pleasant....I opted not to walk on that side..... but otherwise it's a great place.

We had a wonderful few days at Bannisters! The heated pool with the most amazing view was a great way to spend our afternoons.The breakfast was great and staff were all very friendly and helpful especially Sara Lee.The room was spacious and clean and there are a number of dining options so you don’t have to drive into town.There is also a beautiful walk on the beach accessible at the back of the hotel.Thank you for a lovely stay.

We had a wonderful 5 nights at Bannisters and one of the highlights was dinner at the Rick Stein restaurant for our wedding anniversary   The weather was sunny at the start of the week and I enjoyed relaxing by the pool. The staff were always friendly and helpful with suggestions of things to do. We have never been to this area of NSW before and have thoroughly enjoyed our time! Thank you

Relaxing Bannisters

Room was beautiful, clean & comfortable. Dining options are wonderful with Julio's being an amazing taste sensation! More than I can say for Rick Stein! The food at Rick Stein was well below average, it started when we walked in the door and the bar attendant was more interested in talking to friends than service us, after we waited for maybe 10 minutes and he had not even acknowledge us I politely interrupted his conversation and asked if he could get us a drink to which the reply was met with a roll of the eyes and 'Just wait a minute', so we politely waited another 5-8 minutes! The food was disgracefully scallops under cooked and extremely oily, Fish & Shellfish Soup was like dishwater, and the Seafood pie I can't say how bad it was not edible! Our poor waitress was wonderful she was embarrassed and we did our best to assure her it is not her fault, to her credit she was very genuine and adjust our bill accordingly. The Cheeky Dog was full of friendly staff and wonderful bar snacks that were served with a smile. So I guess would I go back .... yes but I would not dine at Rick Stein again!

Bannisters was a midweek break away from the kids. Pool area lovely and staff great. Rooms are comfortable but missing a dee key features such as a full length mirror. Our room opened onto a shared balcony which took a it of getting used to. Hotel also took money from our card without our approval. Breakfast was lovely and the continental was perfectly fine - no need for full cooked breakfast. Not sure we’ll stay again but it was good for a break away.
