and it truly is an intimate sanctuary in every sense. Come summer or winter,

Located in South Waitomo, under 3 hours from Auckland, We have designed Ripples to be our ultimate retreat. Barefoot luxury to be used and enjoyed. Lots of texture, details, film history, handmade and homemade items and original artworks. It is designed to be lived in and touched and to envelop you. We are the perfect getaway, ideal for a couple or family to
spend quality time together.
Ripples Retreat is a central home base to explore the many nearby scenic walks, waterfalls, local tourist attractions, and stunning scenery. It is the place you will want to return to again and again bringing back your family and friends.
There is a reason why Peter Jackson filmed the Hobbit here, it is truly serene.

“ 10/10 definitely recommend for a couples weekend away from the kids, girls weekend or take the family, either way you won’t want to leave. The bath is what made it for me, with the only noise coming from the birds & the flowing river! So good to have time out! We love it!”
