As soon I entered, I was happy and safe. James was very kind to me. The environment and the furnishings was relaxing and calm for me. Room 206 was quiet, could see the water, the huge frangipani was amazing the rosellas singing and saying hello. It made me feel like I could live here.

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.
