We decided to take a little coastal getaway this school holidays (without the fur babies) down to the NSW south coast. This time we went with somewhere more upmarket rather than our usual stayz beach house – so we picked Bannisters by the Sea. When you mention this place to people in Canberra they all go “oooooh fancy” because it is a little on the $$$ side but also it books out months in advance. The doggos once again stayed at Hanrob Pet Hotels who are fantastic with Jet’s anxiety.
On arrival at Bannisters in Mollymook (about 2.5hrs drive from Canberra) we got to check out the gorgeous view from our spa room. We then went for a wander in the reserve nearby and down to the rock beach. 
Dinner tonight was at the Pool Bar on-site which had delicious cocktails and a very yummy tasting platter. We were also able to watch the sunlight slowly disappear with the ocean in the background and because we are on a cliff face here, the noise of the waves is really lovely. The Pool Bar was busy but not too busy (will be interesting to see what it’s like on weekends) so we were easily able to be seated.
Back to the room where we took photos of the very pretty infinity pool and I (once again) put way too many bubbles in the bubble bath and splashed around like a complete numpty.
Tomorrow’s plan is: not much! If the weather is nice we will relax by the pool and chill out or possibly explore nearby Milton or Ulladulla. There is a mountain close by I wanted to climb but….meh….it’s break time! Plus the weather is meant to be average.
