Rippinvale Retreat  

In Hanmer Springs, Rippinvale Retreat is a Colonial golf lodge sitting next to a golf course and a short drive from Hanmer Springs Thermal Reserve and A Maze N Golf. The town centre is about 1 km away, with Conical Hill Walkway, Chisholm Park and Hanmer Forest Park all within easy reach. Christchurch International Airport is roughly 133.5 km from the property.

The property houses just two individually decorated guestrooms with kitchenettes, private furnished balconies or patios and double sofa beds—ideal for small groups or couples who want space. Beds feature pillowtop mattresses, down comforters and Egyptian cotton sheets; rooms include flat-screen satellite TVs and complimentary Wi‑Fi. The lodge blends Colonial charm with a relaxed, tucked-away vibe and offers an elevator, concierge and a tour desk for local excursions.

Unwind with on-site massages, body treatments and facials, take a dip in the spa tub or hot tub, or hit the outdoor tennis court. There’s a picnic area and a ski shuttle (surcharge) for winter visitors. Complimentary wireless internet and free self-parking make arrivals and days-out easy—perfect for swapping trails and thermal pools.

Practical touches include express check-in, luggage storage, dry cleaning and laundry services, plus secure storage options and concierge assistance. Wi‑Fi is available throughout the property.

Start the day with a complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast served daily from 9:00–10:30 AM. The on-site restaurant serves local flavours, and limited-hours room service is available for late arrivals or lazy evenings.
