Our Philosophy


Life is hectic. We all know this to be true. This one fact is the reason for which Houses of Ripley have spent years carefully creating havens to rest and indulge that are close enough to the city to make them accessible yet feel worlds away from the rat race. Somewhere you can go with your partner, family or friends where you can connect with each other, nature, and yourself; all while creating everlasting memories.

“In today's fast-paced world, it is essential to take time out for yourself and find moments of calm and relaxation. Taking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life can help to reduce stress, improve mental clarity, and boost overall wellbeing.”

  • We are Danny and Nick. Always up for adventure throughout our relationship. We have travelled the world together and picked all of the best pieces of each country we’ve seen to build a life of balance here in Australia. Nick is from the historic rolling green countryside of England and Danny from the beautiful Gippsland region in Victoria.

  • The name essentially fell in to our lap. After spending many years looking to buy our first home together, we happened to purchase a property which had been named ‘Ripley’ when it was built in 1898. In addition, we love the film and its characters! It’s exciting but makes you think as the story twists and turns.

  • We both believe that life is all about balance. It’s important to fulfil your personal needs but it’s also important to stop and smell the roses. Whether it’s the sound of a bird, a tree rustling in the wind, or the pop of colour on an artwork. We wanted to create a place for us and our guests that ticks all of these boxes and celebrates the beauty of the world we live in.

We look forward to having you stay.
