Fountaindale Grand Manor, originally built in 1924 and opened as the Hotel Robertson, has had an interesting history.

In 1930 it became an elite country club and renamed 'Ranelagh House' after Ranelagh Gardens in London. The club closed after 4 years, and the building was then used by the W.R.A.A.F during World War II.

In 1947 the property became St. Anthony's College - a Franciscan Friary and Seminary. It was during this period that the beautiful stained glass windows, still in the building today, were installed. The College had its own railway platform on the Moss Vale - Unanderra line, which is still used today.

In 1972 the property reverted to private ownership and has operated successfully as a hotel, conference and function centre since then.
