About this space

Tucked just off the main street of Bangalow and hidden behind jasmine-draped walls, The Bank House is a European-inspired oasis steeped in history and cinematic charm. Set within a restored heritage bank building, this Byron Shire location offers a rare blend of timeless grandeur, garden intimacy, and Mediterranean elegance—perfect for creative teams seeking layered backdrops with story and soul.

From the moment you step through the gates, the atmosphere shifts. Award-winning grounds stretch out in every direction, anchored by a sandstone terrace, gently trickling fountains, and a Tuscan-style pool that invites stillness and softness. This is a place where light lingers on stone and textures tell their own quiet story—ideal for editorial photography, fashion campaigns, luxury branding, or lifestyle film work.

The main house includes three beautifully appointed bedrooms, a dedicated dressing room, two bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen, a cigar room, and a generous lounge. Each room offers its own distinct mood and styling potential, unified by rich textures and natural light. The all-weather sandstone terrace creates a seamless indoor-outdoor transition—equally suited to stills or moving image production.

Beyond the main residence lies a separate guest studio, tucked privately behind the pool yard and veiled in lush greenery. Complete with a Queen bed, bathroom, and kitchenette, it’s the perfect spot for talent prep, wardrobe styling, or as an additional setting with a more intimate feel.

At the centre of the outdoor space, the Tuscan-inspired pool invites long, relaxed frames beneath the canopy of an old frangipani tree. Whether you’re capturing slow-motion summer content, elevated swimwear, or quiet brand storytelling, this setting brings with it a sense of both luxury and ease.

Located in the Byron Shire and only steps from Bangalow’s high street, The Bank House is a shoot location that feels both private and cinematic. Every surface, curve, and corner has been thoughtfully considered—delivering rich visual payoff with every frame.
