Inside, play snooker or pool on the full size table, bask in front of an open fire and revel in the period architecture and furniture of Ranelagh’s formal lounge, the perfect place to enjoy a book or an afternoon nap. Relax with a glass of wine while you watch a movie on the big screen. Our home theatre has an overhead projector, a large 3 metre screen and surround sound. Choose a movie or simply watch TV . We have a selection of DVD’s or bring your own.

For those who prefer to cater for themselves Ranelagh offers a spacious, well equipped eat in kitchen with oven, microwave, double door fridge with freezer and ice maker, dishwasher, all crockery, cutlery and serving dishes and a generous dining setting for 10.

Ranelagh was built in 1875 for Joshua Gill who wanted to accommodate his large family of 10 children. Gill owned the first general store in Dubbo, The Overland Store. Ranelagh was built in a stately manner, which is unrivalled in Dubbo, even by today’s standards, to reflect Gill’s status as a prosperous local merchant.

Historic Ranelagh is a 650 square meter, single storey, double brick home situated on 14 ¾ acres opposite the Macquarie River. Although it retains most of its original features Ranelagh was totally and sympathetically restored over a period of 3 years in consultation with a heritage architect to ensure authenticity and comfortable 20th century living was achieved.

The formal lounge features two black imported Italian marble fireplaces and enormous original local red cedar bi-fold doors.

The original ceilings, which are all up to 12 feet high are still intact, some featuring tongue and groove cedar and others intricate plasterwork with antique light fittings. The high ceilings and tasteful décor add to the spacious and timeless ambiance, so that Ranelagh is ideally suited for that special romantic weekend away.

Until 2004 Ranelagh was used as a private home by owner Peter Arantz and is now open to discerning guests as luxurious 19th century style accommodation.
