My 5 year old daughter and I had a staycation for the night during the school holidays. We had a wonderful time. The staff are lovely and the facilities are excellent. The pool area is beautiful with cool music playing and a lovely overall vibe. We had lunch by the pool both afternoons and the food was excellent and the little ones are also well catered for. The rooms are comfortable and well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Response from Property: Hello!Thank you for the kind words and the fantastic photos too! It is lovely to read that you enjoyed your stay with us.It was great having you and it is awesome to hear that the staff were in good form and the vibes on point.Hopefully it will not be too long until we welcome you back again.Many thanks & kind regards, James & the Bannisters team

This was a pleasant unexpected visit. We originally booked Bannisters for its location and proximity to many dining options which it didn’t disappoint.what we didn’t expect was the ambience and resort vibe and we ended up spending most of our sta lazing by the pool
Listening to really cool music and enjoying great food. A truly enjoyable stay. If you need a subbed in the shade though get in early they go quickly.
Response from Property: Hello.Thanks for the kind words and great photos! We really appreciate it. Great to hear that the vibes were good and the stay was an enjoyable one.We will definitely look forward to welcoming you back again for another visit at some stage down the track. Thank you.All the very best, James & the Bannisters team

You need to ask the hotel for slippers in the room, otherwise they won't provide them separately. The service in the hotel restaurant was so-so; I sat there for a while without anyone serving me, so I ended up going out to eat. It might be acceptable for a small town, but for someone coming from Sydney, the experience wasn't particularly great, even though it's the best hotel in town.

Response from Property: Thank you for the visit. I will chat to our GM about popping slippers in the rooms for all guests. We did do this at one stage but perhaps we need to look at doing so again.Thank you for your review and I will follow up with our venue staff also. Apologies for any shortfall in experience Many thanks, James
