STORIES ABOUT RIPPLES

As we move into 2026, we’re making a very intentional choice at Ripples Retreat. We’re choosing slower stays, deeper rest, and more time with the people who matter most. Ripples Retreat sits on our family farm in Piopio, near Waitomo, and from the very beginning we wanted to create the kind of place we would choose ourselves when life felt busy or noisy — somewhere that invited you to slow right down.

Ripples Retreat has been featured in New Zealand Guide’s “12 Best Unique Stays in the North Island.” Discover why guests love our handcrafted riverside cabins for romantic escapes, family adventures, and group getaways.
