Mollymook beach, south coast of New South Wales
Mollymook is a ocean front suburb 225km to the south of Sydney in the south coast of New South Wales.
Rick Stein at Bannisters is an old restaurant taking up a new image with the celebrity chef lending his brand name. This restaurant is part of the Bannisters resort on Mitchell Parade which runs parallel with the ocean front in the residential suburb of Mollymook.
On my visit to this quaint little town, the first thing that struck me was the sheer number of “For sale” and “Sold” signages along Mitchell Parade and other adjoining streets nearby.
It has often been said that a prominent new landmark, business or development within a suburb which has the ability to lure and increase interest into the suburb generally augurs well for real estate values within the proximity.
Rick Stein at Bannisters may just be that new business to lift real estate prices in Mollymook.
