Ballina Manor Boutique Hotel
Byron Bay
At a glance
Ballina Manor Boutique Hotel is a small luxury property on historic Norton Street, Ballina, occupying a former girls’ school built in the 1920s. The building combines period character with a relaxed residential feel, creating accommodation suited to travellers seeking a quieter base on the Far North Coast.
Inside, heritage details include high coffered ceilings, a handcrafted timber staircase and covered balconies, complemented by contemporary touches throughout the property. The atmosphere is polished but homely, with a compact scale that gives the hotel an intimate character rather than the feel of a large resort.
The hotel has 12 rooms and suites arranged over three floors, with individual styling across classic and luxe room categories, as well as spa suites. Rooms include king or queen bed configurations, and some offer balconies for sitting outdoors. Access is via the grand staircase, with no lift, so a ground-floor room is the practical choice for guests who prefer to avoid stairs.
Manor Restaurant forms part of the property, while the breakfast offering is continental. The accommodation provides tea and coffee facilities in guest rooms, and the overall setting is designed for unhurried stays, whether the focus is rest, local exploring or a short coastal break.
Facilities and activities include a swimming pool, balconies and electric bikes for exploring Ballina. The hotel is centrally positioned on Ballina island, within walking distance of the town centre, parks and nearby waterways. Beaches are also close by, while Ballina Byron Gateway Airport is a short distance away. The location works well for exploring Ballina, the surrounding coast and the Byron Bay hinterland without staying in a busy tourist precinct.
Keyless, contactless check-in adds flexibility to arrival, with Manor Hosts available to assist during a stay. Ballina Manor Boutique Hotel suits couples, solo travellers and visitors looking for heritage accommodation with modern comforts, a continental breakfast and convenient access to the town, beaches and regional attractions.
