LOCATION
A coastal hideaway located at beautiful Mollymook on the NSW South Coast, an easy 3 hours south of Sydney. The cliff top location not only affords breathtaking ocean views, but also allows easy access to the famous surf beach, Mollymook Beach, an easy 5 minute walk from the lodge.

DETAILS
When British TV chef Rick Stein took over the reins of Bannister's restaurant late last year, no one would have anticipated what impact he would have on Bannisters and the beautiful seaside resort town of Mollymook.
Rick of British TV celebrity fame, who has the famous seafood restaurant in the Cornish fishing village of Padstow has brought his recipes and seafood knowledge to Australia to make use of the fabulous fish and shellfish to be found in the waters south of Sydney. Bannisters is the perfect combination of excellent food, tranquility and privacy with all the comforts and facilities of a coastal retreat.

Originally built in the 1970's as a seaside motel Bannisters has been upgraded to a 4.5 star boutique hotel with an informal seaside atmosphere.

ACCOMMODATION
Accommodation rooms have amazing ocean views, private balcony or deck, new bathroom, mini bar and DVDs. Many rooms also have their own private spa or bath to ensure that this is the luxury South Coast accommodation you've been looking for.

FUNCTION FACILITIES
Bannisters boasts incomparable conference facilities. The refurbished Tasman Room is bathed in natural light with two ocean view balconies for breaks. The Functions Team works closely with you in the preparation of your event ensuring all your needs are catered for. Half Day Conference Package $65pp and Full Day $85pp.

From the school holidays onwards (24th September) Rick Stein at Bannisters will be open 7 days a week for breakfast lunch, and dinner (no lunch specials though) through until the end of the Easter holidays next year.

Rick Stein at Bannisters - User Reviews

Cathe-Sydney:

My husband and I have travelled around the world and have eaten in many a good retuarant. Bannisters ranks up there with the best we've eaten. The restuarant decor was pleasant but plain which I actally like as it makes for a relaxing atmosphere. Service was very attentive without being intrusive. Staff were genuinely friendly and knowleable about all the food source and preparation. All our courses were seafood and were so very fresh, incredably simple but so tastey. The meals are a good size, we couldn't fit dessert in. We would highly recommend Bannisters to any Ulladulla / Mollymook visitor.review 07/02/2012

Just back in the UK after visiting our new granddaughter in Kiama. Decided to to have a few days r & r in Milton area and booked in at Rick Steins. I would just like to say the whole experience from our reservation through to the meal and after was brilliant. Our table service was better than most eateries we have visited and all the menu was well explained by people who new what they were talking about. Everyone was polite, relaxed and the venue was in a lovely setting. The food was exceptional with the oysters being 'to die for'. We will now book up at Padstow and tell everyone there that they have serious competition from their antipodean cousins. As always there is something that can be improved, we were not greeted for nearly 5 minutes when entering the restaurant. This did not affect our experience but needs commenting on. So a very big thank you to all at Bannisters and we will certainly be coming back next year.review 25/04/2010
