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

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

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

Marketed as a 5 star resort but lacked any activity or entertainment experiences and no atmosphere Seemed staff disinterested and just happy to do the minimum.

Fantastic stay all round!

Very quiet location, great restaurant, food was amazing

Hotel staff are always pleasant and always accommodating in using all their facilities esp the boardroom and came storing :)

Exceptional as always. This is my 3rd year in a row and I come back every February. I miss it already and wish I stayed longer :)) I just love it so much! Do your self a favour and visit Bannisters Port Stephens asap!

Lovely property with great dining options, fantastic views, and friendly staff. Unfortunately we had a foul smell in our room which put a damper on the visit. Otherwise it was faultless.
