Experience Rupertswood Mansion - A Venue Perfect For Any Occasion
Rupertswood is one of Australia's most important mansions, both historically and architecturally. Built as a residence for Sir William John Clarke, (first Australian born Baronet), in 1874-76 it became a power seat in the great English tradition. The property covered an area of 31,000 acres. Today the estate has been reduced to 1,100 acres. Rupertswood is a 50room mansion built in the Italianate style, surmounted by a 100 foot tower. The grand entrance is paved with Victorian tessellated tiles and there are six magnificent stained glass panels made by Urie and Fergeson in 1874-76, considered some of the finest examples in the world.
William Sangster designed the gardens at Rupertswood originally covering an area of 99 acres, and once boasted tennis courts, croquet lawns and an underground fernery. Rupertswood also had its own private railway station were guests to grand balls would arrive from Spencer Street. Balls, hunt meets and weekend house parties were frequent. Anyone of note, in Victorian and Edwardian society, was entertained by the Clarkes. Many historical figures visited Rupertswood, including the Duke and Duchess of York, (later to become King George V and Queen Mary), Dame Nellie Melba and several Governors of Victoria.
Rupertswood holds a place in the great sporting rivalry between Australia and England, as it was on a field at Rupertswood that the Ashes were created. On Christmas Eve of 1882, after a congenial lunch, Sir William Clarke suggested a social game between the English Cricket team and a local side, made up largely of Rupertswood staff. By all accounts, it was an enjoyable game with no one really keeping score, however, it was generally agreed that the English won. Pat Lyons, a worker at Rupertswood, clearly remembered the afternoon many years later. It was his understanding that Lady Clarke, at dinner that evening, had presented Ivo Bligh with a pottery urn. It was purported to contain the ashes of a burnt bail. This was a light hearted gesture to commemorate England's win at Rupertswood.
By 1922, Rupertswood had passed from the Clarke family into the possession of H.V.McKay, millionaire, industrialist and inventor of Sunshine Harvester fame. His dream of owning Rupertswood had been realised, if however, a little short lived. He died at Rupertswood in 1926. A short time later one of Australia's greatest pastoralist, William Naughton acquired the property. One year later he sold the mansion and 1100 acres to the Roman Catholic Salesian Order. The mansion then became a school for under privileged boys.
Today the mansion has undergone extensive restoration, reinstating elaborate Victorian colour and decorative schemes, and operating as a boutique hotel. With Butlers, Doormen, a high level of service and food, Rupertswood is an experience only found in the great houses of England.You are invited to descend the stairs, enjoy the history and indulge by candlelight. Dine in this cellar, where the Clarke family stored its extended range of wines (now stocked with boutique regional wines). Choose from our unique multi course wine matched menus.
The cellar is available for Wine tastings, Cheese tastings, lectures, special events and private or corporate functions.
