The views are beautiful from Ridge Country Retreat, the thermal water pool is fantastic, the rooms are very well kept and feel new and have a touch of luxury to them. We had a room with a private thermal water bath on a patio, we used the bath once or twice and it was nice but with a great pool... More

“Absolute Paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 April 2013

My two sisters and I had the most fabulous experience for three days at Ridge Country Retreat.

“stunning location, the most relaxing holiday ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011

Ridge Country Retreat must be one of the best kept secrets in NZ. The setting is incredible, hidden away amongst the native bush and looking over the rolling hills of Papamoa. It is managed by Jo and Penny, two very warm and friendly hosts. They were absolutely fantastic from the moment we arrived. They built the resort from scratch and... More
