Overall Bannisters was a great place to visit. The staff were the most engaging I’ve seen in this type of environment. The surrounds felt like you were on a island holiday

Wonderful stay. Lovely and modern, spacious and comfortable room. Magpies came to sing to us in the morning. Food at Rick Stein’s restaurant was delicious, simply prepared and flavourful. I had the pipis, my fave, they were plump and garlicky. Will definitely return.

Bannisters is style, the conversation on the way to our room said it all, friendly and informative. The room even at entry level was exceptional and big - that ticks boxes when you travel with suitcases - The staff at the front desk just want to please - we ate at Rick Steins and the food was just stunning - and there was a bonus moment to savour - Rick Stein was sitting two tables away - not bad for a big night out. Pete and Annie - Sorrento Vic.
