At the end of a long winding drive, nestled amongst mature trees, stands “Rupertswood”. “Rupertswood Mansion” best known as the “Birthplace of the Ashes”, is a unique 50 room Italianate mansion built in 1874-76, as a country house for Sir William Clarke. Rupertswood Mansion is one of Australia’s most significant mansion estates – historically and architecturally. The mansion opened for operation in August 1998 for private dinners, cellar functions, weddings and day conferences. Rupertswood Mansion has 11 beautifully appointed Victorian bedrooms, including the library, reading rooms, breakfast room, kitchen and balcony areas. Accommodation at Rupertswood Mansion opened in February 2002 allowing for the tourist & business market accommodation in this region. The atmosphere is grand, yet relaxed, and friendly with staff well versed with its history and trained for exceptional service.
