Move Over Europe. This is the Winter Escape Your Body Needs

We've partnered with Bannisters by the Sea to share why this coastal destination is the ultimate winter break. 

Picture this. You’re soaking up rays from the winter sun (not too hot, not too cold), you’ve got a margy in one hand, a book in the other and the only item on your agenda is a massage at 3.

Some would think you’ve died and gone to heaven. It’s more likely you’ve woken up at Bannisters by the Sea. 

A Stress-Free Seaside Sojourn 

A holiday doesn’t need to be far from home for you to tick off a bucket list destination. Bannisters By The Sea is the stay you’re craving - even if you didn’t realise it until now.

This trip requires no huge suitcases, baggage stress, passports or queues. It does, however, involve eating at one of Australia’s most iconic restaurants, sipping cocktails by the pool and soaking up winter sunsets.

Welcome to the holiday you deserve. 

Setting the Scene 

Settling into Bannisters by the Sea is easily done. The expansive blue sky melds into the endless ocean and infinity pool and has you feeling as though you’re on the edge of the earth in a private paradise.

Everything you could need for a luxe weekend away is on site. Cocktails and pizza are available to enjoy by the pool, decadent rooms provide the backdrop to a plush nap, and there’s even a day spa by the sea. 

Feast To Your Heart's Content 

You won't even need to leave the premises to indulge in the best restaurant in the region. Utilising the proximity to one of the biggest fishing ports on the South Coast, Rick Stein's is an award-winning seafood restaurant boasting delicacies in droves. Think Eastern rock lobster thermidor, ocean-fresh sashimi and fish curry with Bermagui swordfish. We guarantee you'll be thinking of this meal for a long time to come. 

Planned to Perfection: The South Coast Escape Package 

To help you make the most of a weekend sojourn, Bannisters have popped together the ultimate package this winter for those who love to outsource organisation.

Bannisters by the Sea is welcoming guests with a cocktail and pizza on arrival followed by two impeccable nights' accommodation. There is no need to wake up and worry about breaky, as that’s sorted too with a la carte options upon waking.

And with 25% off at the indulgent Spa by the Sea (for bookings one hour or more), it’d be rude not to book in for a hot stone massage, infrared sauna or hydrating facial. 

And There’s More…

If you do manage to tear yourself away from the world-class views, the seaside town of Mollymook is yours to explore.

For the foodies, a trip to Hayden’s Pies is a must, as well as the Lagom Bakery for the flakiest pastries you’ll find.

Adventure enthusiasts will be sated with beach walks, a wander through Mumurrang National Park and, if you’re feeling energetic, a hike up Pigeon House Mountain for the only view you’ll find to rival Bannisters.

If it’s relaxation and relaxation only you’re channelling, make your way over to Cupitts for an afternoon of wine tasting. 

So, skip the airport stress this winter and recharge properly for the second half of the year. A cosy coastal escape is our prescription for a holiday that doesn’t just sound like a good idea but lives up to the hype.
