Bannisters Pavilion

Top choice in South Coast NSW


Set back from Mollymook Beach, this visually striking hotel operates with breezy style. There's space to spare, with wide hallways, plush, light rooms with pleasant woody outlooks and private patio or balcony space. The two penthouses are worthy of a design magazine. They have another hotel closer to the beach.

Whether or not you're staying, be sure to visit the top deck: there's a poolside bar and restaurant serving top-notch oysters, marvellous burgers and ribs, and desserts such as salted-caramel tart.
