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.

Given that this is boutique hotel, it should be judged as such and it does not stand up to that. It is more like a mid-range 3 star hotel or an upmarket motel. While comfortable, it is far from the experience that you would want from the venue and there are better options in Port Stephens and surrounds. The staff are very friendly and helpful but that is where it stops ... after that it is all downhill. The food at Rick Stein is very average and we had way better meals elsewhere for a lot less. The room decor is 1980's and furnishings are broken and there is some dirt. There are no "Do not disturb" signs so good luck if you want to have sleep in. Their excuse is that guests leave the signs out and so impacts on their cleaning service - there are enough good examples out there at other hotels to figure how to solve this problem and anyway it is the hotel's problem ... not the guests. There is no cupboard space (only open hanging), no cutlery or crockery should you want a glass of wine and a cheese board on the balcony, internet was disastrous, bathrobes but no slippers ... the list goes on.

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!
