When you enter this space you can almost hear the chatter and clinking of glasses from time gone by. To look out of the grand windows and imagine the ashes game and personally for me. to reminisce of more recent times when Twilight was run by my mentor Mr Bruno Lettieri, a interviewer extraordinaire who has a way of welcoming all walks of life into this grand building with its lavish gold gilded trims and tall extravagant high ceilings.  Many famous writers would grace the central, slightly elevated stage as the audience were place around it. Lighting was intimately set and the questions set for a riveting journey of enrichment. To walk the gardens and explore the buildings are a rich and rare treat and a must for everyone!

An Entry into a Grand Bygone Era.

This is not a place to visit any more.  Don't go there. If you do go there you won't have access to see anything apart from the outside.   It is also a long walk from the station... as others have stated.

I visited here during Open House weekend in Melbourne. It was okay but nothing special to be honest. I liked the stain glass but it is no longer set up as a mansion but is the school's office. The fountain needed repair work and it was sad. A part of the building also needed some restoration work. Nice building but not as spectacular as I had hoped.

Now part of the school.

I live there in the Fiftys as a boarder in the Mansion. we had everything there, we cooked ,cleaned, looked after our rooms ie make our beds change the sheets. etc .football. basketball. snooker. Long distance running, riding horses.

Great rooms.

This building is very grand and steeped in history but as a hotel did not meet my basic needs.Not to be used if you don't have a car, as it is 800metres from the main road,unlit with no real walking path. There are no eating facilities within the 'Mansion', only weddings & functions are catered for. I had to arrange for outside food delivery for dinner one night & didn't eat the other.The 'desk' is only manned within busy hours 9-5, the entrance was not open on my arrival,  I  wondered around with my suitcase looking for a way in.The rooms are unique with antques but weren't designed for comfort, no clock or radio, or place  to sit or work. The bedroom door only closed if I used the key. The 'kitchen' was along the landing for making tea/coffee but with no sink, I had to go back & forth to my room to fill the kettle etc.Being there for business & leaving each morning at 8am,I asked if breakfast provisions could be supplied. The TV was acessible one night in the library, when not being used a lecture room.I was the only paying quest,alone in a huge mansion,Not a place to stay if you are on business or for that matter for pleasure.Tip-no alcohol allowed

Choose somewhere else if you are travelling alone with no transport

We (my wife and I) were looking for a not-too-expensive but nice hotel within 15 minutes of Melbourne Airport, as we had an early start. And so we came across Rupertswood.When we got there, I wasn't exactly sure we were in the right place (the cannon in the driveway seemed a little strange) however, the manager let us in and showed us to our room, which was a small maid's room. We were both stunned by this property. The history, artwork, rooms, gardens and architecture were incredible. Anyhow it turned out we were the only ones staying there for the night and we had the best of evenings sipping wine and eating takeaway thai on the verandah overlooking the gardens. While our room was small, there was plenty of public space we could enjoy. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay and would recommend this to someone who was looking for a bit of history, romance or a quiet country getaway.
