    Loved our dinner. The oysters with the pineapple, ginger, mint & granita were amazing. Totally recommend these. Mains were really good, my choice of the Seafood Medley was perfect. Would totally recommend trying it.

    Thanks to the Ballina Manor for helping my family celebrate a lovely birthday evening for my wife. The service was absolutely amazing from the moment we stepped on to the verandah. The drinks were perfect, the meals were mouthwatering, and we were never rushed or over served in any way. Coming from a background in good old five-star hospitality in the 80's and 90's (when one person could wait on 5 tables at a time, never miss an order, able to remember more than 5 drink orders and deliver them in a respectable time and ensure the clients were kept very, very comfortable) we were so happy to see this same level of hospitality in such a beautiful, ambient establishment. There is no other establishment that comes within a whisker of Ballina Manors experience and location in the Northern Rivers

    We have been to Ballina Manor a few times, being an Historic house, it's cosy, with a courtyard and veranda. The a modern menu show cases the excellent quality of local produce. The wine list is very good, the staff are professional, helpful and polite. All round a great dining experience. The prices are reasonable.

    My fiancé (newly) dined here for an intimate celebration together. It was such a wonderful evening, very relaxed, beautiful environment, the food was absolutely incredible, we ordered the Byron Bay Burratta and Stone Baked Ciabatta for our entree, it was absolutely wonderful. For the mains we got the Roasted Pumpkin and the House made Ricotta Gnocchi, both were absolutely delicious, words cannot describe it. The drinks were amazing and the service was absolutely superb. I cannot recommend The Manor enough!! We’ll most definitely be dining again.
