Description Rippinvale Country Retreat is an ideal mountain retreat for those looking to unwind in the thermal resort of Hanmer Springs. Situated in a large and secluded wooded garden, the retreat is a short walk from the Hanmer Springs alpine village. Built in 2000 from mud blocks in the traditional New Zealand style, Rippinvale is purpose-built bed and breakfast. This large country home offers spectacular uninterrupted alpine views, sweeping lawns, and large landscaped areas of New Zealand flora. The accommodation itself is very private, in cottage style suites set within their own courtyards. A full special menu breakfast is served daily (either in your suite or al fresco in your courtyard) including sea run smoked salmon, free range eggs, and other delightful homemade indulgences. For the ultimate relaxation why not treat yourself to a therapeutic massage from Helen, or for those wanting a more active stay, John has an extensive knowledge of the region and offers guided hunting, fishing, 4WD, and photography tours of the area.
