Cremorne Point Manor is a special 4-star hotel in North Sydney, Australia. It's known as a "boutique hotel" because it's smaller and offers a unique experience. The hotel is located in a beautiful two-story building from the 1800s. It has a classic "Federation style" look, which was popular in Australia around that time. This historic building is so important that the government of New South Wales has named it a "North Sydney Heritage" site. This means it's a historic place worth protecting.

A Look Back: The Hotel's History
Cremorne Point Manor was not always called by its current name. It used to be a "guesthouse" named Redcourt. A guesthouse is like a small hotel that offers rooms for travelers. An old advertisement from 1927/28 shows that a Miss L. F. Carl was the person to contact for Redcourt.
From House to Hotel
The building itself is very old, built in the 1800s. It was originally known as 8 Cremorne Road. Later, in 1988, the property was officially divided, and the building's address changed to 6 Cremorne Road. The hotel has a great view, overlooking Cremorne Point and Mosman Bay. Even though it has been updated and modernized over the years, it still keeps its original 19th-century Federation style.
A Close Call with Coal
According to a newspaper article from 2007, the hotel building was likely built in the late 1880s. This was around the time when people thought they had found coal nearby in Cremorne. Luckily, the plan to mine for coal was stopped. Local people strongly opposed it, which saved the area from becoming a mining site. Cremorne Point Manor has been a guesthouse or hotel for about 50 years.
The Name and Its Protection
In July 2012, the name "Cremorne Point Manor" became an official "trademark" in Australia. This means the name is protected by law, so no one else can use it for their business. This approval came from IP Australia, which is the government body that deals with trademarks. Today, Cremorne Point Manor has 29 rooms for guests.
