My husband and I had two wonderful nights at Rippinvale Retreat in Hanmer Springs. From our arrival when there was home made baking, to wine and canapés at 6pm to chocolates on our pillow at night, our hosts Helen and John, couldn't have made us feel more welcome. The totally delicious home made breakfast (served after 9am!) kept us going until dinner time. I thoroughly recommend Rippinvale Retreat to couples that want some spoiling! ##### Margaret ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jackie, New Zealand - Christchurch Feb 23, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Service: Go the extra mile; Cleanliness: Beautiful; ##### Jackie ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ben, Australia - NSW - Regional NSW Oct 30, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Value: Great deal; Service: Remarkable, Go the extra mile, Phenomenal; Cleanliness: Immaculate, Beautiful; ##### Ben ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate, New Zealand - Christchurch Sep 20, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Facilities: Top of the line; Value: Great deal; Service: Go the extra mile; Cleanliness: Beautiful; ##### Kate ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate, New Zealand Jul 4, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Facilities: Outstanding, Beautifully decorated.; Value: Great deal; Service: Go the extra mile; Cleanliness: Beautiful; ##### Kate ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer, New Zealand - Waikato Jun 18, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Facilities: Nice ; Value: Great deal; Service: Go the extra mile; Cleanliness: Immaculate; Fantastic setting, Breakfasts memorable. ##### Jennifer ### 8/10 Good #### Sonia, New Zealand - Christchurch Jun 9, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Value: Acceptable price; ##### Sonia ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura, New Zealand - Christchurch May 6, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Facilities: Nice ; Value: Great deal; Service: Outstanding; Cleanliness: Immaculate; ##### Laura ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andy, New Zealand May 4, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Facilities: Home away from home; Value: Boutique; Service: Flawless, Go the extra mile; Cleanliness: Immaculate; Save your appetite for the amazing breakfasts!! ##### Andy ### 10/10 Excellent #### kristie, New Zealand - Otago Apr 22, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Facilities: Home away from home, soo clean; Value: Affordable, worth the full 350; Service: Go the extra mile; Cleanliness: Spotless, Immaculate, Pristine; the best accommodation ive stayed at ##### kristie ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel, New Zealand - Canterbury Feb 19, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Service: Go the extra mile, Outstanding; ##### Rachel ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janice, Australia - NSW - Regional NSW Jan 18, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Facilities: Above average; I felt disappointed as it didn't live up to its advertising.
