Gleniffer Brae, Heritage-listed manor in Keiraville, New South Wales, Australia.

The single-story brick structure features rock-faced sandstone trims, steep multi-gabled roof, and Tudor arched diamond patterned windows throughout the exterior.

Sidney Hoskins, founder of Port Kembla steelworks, commissioned architect Geoffrey D. Loveridge to construct this Tudor Revival residence between 1937 and 1939.

The name derives from a village in Paisley, Scotland, reflecting Mrs. Hoskins' grandfather's heritage, while the land holds significance to Dharawal Aboriginal people.

The Wollongong Conservatorium of Music operates within the building, offering music education programs in the preserved sections of the manor house.

Paul Sorensen designed the extensive gardens surrounding the manor, incorporating native flora and elaborate ornamental features into the landscape.
