Dreaming of Summer? Bannisters by The Sea Launches Sister Property – the Brand New Boutique Hotel Bannisters Pavilion in Mollymook on the NSW South Coast.

It is almost time to kick off the heels and turn of the phone for our annual South Coast adventure. I can almost feel the sand between my toes, dreaming of swimming in crystal clear blue water, beach hamburgers, ice creams and cocktails at Bannisters of course! Christmas time to me is always synonymous with the NSW South Coast, camping with lifelong friends and many family holidays in Mollymook. After spending the past ten Christmas holidays here it is so comforting to see the places you know and love remain the same, while cool new places continue to pop up as the area evolves. Whether it be a new cafe or wine bar in Milton, or a contemporary new pool bar in Mollymook, change is inevitable and welcome. And Bannisters has always been leading the game when it comes to style and luxury on the South Coast.

The ever evolving Bannisters by The Sea in Mollymook is one of those places we visit time and time again. Bannisters is a unique boutique hotel with a wonderful cliff top location above the beautiful Mollymook Beach on the NSW South Coast. Fantastic sea views, luxury accommodation, the acclaimed and fully licensed Rick Stein at Bannisters Restaurant, an in-house day spa and a pool and cocktail bar set around a wet-edge infinity pool. Bannisters has 32 refurbished, beautifully appointed rooms, including Spa rooms, Luxury Suites, Penthouses and the newly refurbished Collette Dinnigan Penthouse Suites, each boasting a private balcony and spectacular views. It is a special place for my family. My husband and I celebrated our engagement here, planned our wedding and got married here surrounded by our nearest and dearest, and most recently celebrated our ten-year wedding anniversary.

I was very excited to hear that Bannisters by The Sea has recently opened a brand new sister property just around the corner - it is called Bannisters Pavilion located in Tallwood Avenue. This brand new boutique hotel, opened just a few weeks ago, boasting an amazing rooftop pool bar, boutique accommodation and more. I have heard that one of the highlights of Bannisters Pavilion is the expansive rooftop lined with sun beds, umbrellas, private lounge spaces, a bar-and-grill and spectacular suspended pool. No doubt this will become a firm favourite with tourists and locals alike and I will most definitely be popping by to check it out and stay for a cocktail. It looks so good - here is a sneak peek for you...

I will be sure to share a few of my South Coast finds on Instagram during the holiday break, (that is if I can find my phone!) Until then, I hope you all have a lovely Christmas holiday break. And if not, I do hope that you get to enjoy a few days of relaxation in your home town. Stay-cations are pretty good too. 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS
