We are on our way back from a wonderful weekend at Bannisters Pavilion with a big smile on our faces. It lived up to all our expectations and more: fabulous and friendly staff, a comfortable room with everything you need and just a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. Even a complementary birthday bottle of bubbly. The joys of a boutique hotel. The food was delicious and we couldn’t fault a single thing, including the breakfast that came with our deal. Great menu. And great coffee! We thought the food and wine was good value. We even managed a couple of hours around the pool to soak up that holiday feel. Next time I’d ask which rooms are best positioned - we had a car park view. Not particularly aesthetically pleasing but not really an issue either. Would highly recommend a stay. We ate at Rick Stein’s restaurant too, which was also great. But I think we preferred the relaxed vibe of the Pavillion.

There is no reason to charge the amount of money Bannisters does ($600 for 1 night in Pavilion Classic, inc breakfast for 2 on a Sat/Sun. Mid week seems to be $355). Honestly if you can find an air bnb or something closer to the golf club area for cheaper, do that instead. The room was nice, spacious and it did have heated towel racks. Pretty standard views. Overall not nice enough for that price tag. The the whole place was dated. The internet kept dropping out. The pool area was fairly small - the online photos are very deceptive. Again, it was nice but nothing special or worth the money you pay. Rooftop restaurant again, food was nice but nothing special, Overpriced and could get anywhere really. The bar was table service only…which was strange. I think the Bannisters/Rick Stein name is what pulls people in but once you’re there, you realise that you have paid for a name
