A very special New Zealand experience offering fine boutique accommodation in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. Rippinvale Retreat, constructed from adobe mud blocks, sits quietly in the natural Hanmer Springs alpine landscape enjoying spectacular views. The tranquil park-like grounds - with sweeping lawns, pretty borders, lily pond, kitchen garden and orchard - make Rippinvale the perfect place to relax, unwind and experience generous New Zealand hospitality.

Rippinvale Retreat provides 5 star boutique bed and breakfast style accommodation in two stylish guest apartments - the Flax and Ribbonwood suites.

Each suite has a queen bedroom, ensuite, sitting room and kitchenette with tea/coffee making facilities. Both suites have pretty garden views and french doors opening from a private courtyard entrance. The suites are situated a short distance from the outdoor alpine Jacuzzi.
