Raupaki Estate is a lovely place to spend time away from busy lives. The house is much larger than it appears on arriving, and comfortably accommodated our inter-generational group of 8 (5 adults and 3 kids). The bedrooms are large and well-furnished with comfortable beds and plenty of extra blankets if needed. There are two showers and two toilets, the main bathroom has been recently updated which is nice - as was the plentiful supply of towels. The water pressure in both showers was excellent. There are two living areas both with fires which helps keep the home warm and provides endless hours of simple distraction for those charged with keeping the fires going! We appreciated arriving to find firewood, kindling, newspaper, matches and firelighters. The kitchen is the hub of this home, with a wonderful breakfast bar so that conversation can flow. The bookshelves are full of fiction and non-fiction titles and taking time to browse them is very relaxing. There is also a good selection of board games. The back deck and garden have amazing views and we spent many enjoyable hours relaxing watching the kids kick the footy or just sitting admiring the sheep in the neighbouring paddock. The Nollajup Nature Reserve nearby is great for walking or mountain-biking, as are the nearby Hester trails and downhill track on the other side of Bridgetown. This is a lovely property that we really enjoyed visiting and would highly recommend. Jenny is super helpful and quick to respond.
