The room was very pleasant, comfortable, clean, compact, with a view of trees and bay and a friendly kookaburra! The bathroom door was flimsy, the wifi was weak and there was no saucer for used teabags, otherwise 5 stars

We stayed five nights across various properties in the Port Stephens and Hunter Valley areas. This property was by far the most expensive, which naturally set higher expectations. Unfortunately, it was also the most outdated—reminiscent of a 1970s California motel. We paid a premium for a “not partial” ocean view room, but as the attached photos show, the view felt more partial than advertised—though admittedly, it could have been worse. While the service was good, it didn’t stand out compared to the other places we stayed, so we didn’t feel particularly special. That said, Port Stephens itself was a fantastic destination. The hotel’s poolside area offered partial bay views, enjoyable drinks, and tasty Mexican food, which we appreciated. Regarding Rick Stein, we weren’t aware of him or his connection to the property (if any) or its restaurant beforehand. As such, the premium price tied to his name didn’t resonate with us and felt unjustified. Overall, while there were some highlights, the experience was underwhelming, especially given the cost.

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.
