Ballina Manor
Tucked away on Ballina’s original main street, the heritage-listed Ballina Manor is a boutique gem with a grand story to tell. Originally built in 1925 as a Girls College, this elegant building evolved into a guesthouse by 1930 and, after a tasteful restoration, now welcomes visitors as a stylish small luxury hotel in the heart of Ballina.
Norton Street—once the bustling artery connecting North Creek and the Richmond River—sets the scene with historical charm, and today offers easy access to the best of Ballina Island. You’re just minutes from the Ballina Byron Gateway Airport and a short, scenic stroll from town, beaches, and the river’s edge.
Each of the Manor’s rooms is individually furnished with antique Edwardian décor and thoughtfully appointed with all the modern comforts. Guests can enjoy private ensuite bathrooms, ducted air-conditioning and ceiling fans, refrigerators, tea and coffee facilities, as well as free wireless internet.
Whether you’re celebrating something special or simply indulging in a long-overdue getaway, a meal at the Manor Restaurant is not to be missed. With its refined yet relaxed ambiance and seasonal menus, dining here is a true highlight of the Ballina experience.
From hinterland villages to coastal hideaways, the Northern Rivers region is yours to explore—and Ballina Manor makes the ideal launchpad.
