Ripples Retreat

  • Surrounded by farmland and nestled down by the Mangaotaki Stream, Ripples is in a very private and tranquil location. The Hobbit was filmed here in 2011 along with other movies and ads.
  • Our double outdoor bath with gas heated pure water is a guest highlight. Especially at night under our starlit sky.
  • The handcrafted interior features many architectural details and unique, handcrafted items. The chalet has been custom designed to capture winter sun and to shield out the hot summer sun. Perfect for any season.
  • Custom built for couples and families the design of Ripples Retreat was deeply influenced by nature. Locally sourced, natural limestone boulders frame the deck and autumn tones are carried throughout the exterior and interior.
  • The beautiful Mangaotaki Stream, so photogenic and the perfect swimming spot in summer.
  • There's an abundance of activities at Ripples Retreat. Fish from the front lawn, cycle our quiet country road, take a trip to the adventure wonderland of Waitomo Caves or discover this beautiful unexplored part of the country.
  • The beautiful Waitanguru Falls are a quick 5 minute drive away and they are one of the many stunning scenic attractions we have in our local area.
  • There's so much fun to be had playing at Ripples. Older kids and adults can spend hours in the temperate river in summer. Or explore by kayak in the cooler months.
  • Located on a sheep and beef farm, we are the 3rd generation of farmers on this land and we just love sharing our little slice of paradise with others.
  • Framed by limestone bluffs and water.
