The hotel had an amazing special offer of motel room and day pass to the thermal valley pools for only $99 from Monday to Thursday. We wanted a Friday night stop-over and when we phoned them to book, reception was very happy to offer the same deal. The room was an older style motel equipped with everything we needed, warm...

I stayed for one night on my way down the island for a business trip. The hot pools are the reason I chose this as accommodation and am glad I did so. Extremely relaxing and a treat for a traveller. The accommodation itself had everything required, fully equipped kitchen with oven pots pans rather than a microwave, and the biggest... More

I highly recommend De Bretts Spa Treatments for anybody wanting to destress, relax and unwind!! I went with a group of friends, all mothers and professional workers who wanted to do just that. We pre-booked a month in advance something you should do if booking a group of you. By doing that we were able to organize the types of... More

We stayed in the spa chalets, very clean and comfortable. Loved the hot pools. Could have been better if we could request for new towels at the pool reception; either you have to take the ones in your rooms or pay $5 to rent one. When we used hotel/chalet pools, there would always be a kiosk for towels for its... More

We stayed at Taupo DeBretts on one of their power sites in a camper van 15-17 April 2013. We originally checked in for 2 nights but ended up staying 3. The staff were very friendly and were able to provide advice on tourist attractions. The cost of the site for 3 nights was great value. We just loved the thermal... More

We stayed in a studio motel for one night, it was clean and comfortable enough. Bathroom was dated and definitely needs an upgrade. No real issues but nothing that would make us want to stay again - would probably look for a newer motel unit closer to the town for a similar price.

We stayed in a two bedroom apartment, very roomy and well appointed. On site are the famous Hot spring thermal pools. Outdoor and private pools plus a warm water playground and slide. Cafe very handy. Just a short drive to Taupo, on the Taupo Napier highway. Awesome staff.

Stayed just one night, just long enough to enjoy an hour in the hot pools and a lovely massage. Very relaxing. Our motel unit was terrific, very spacious and clean, a little old fashioned, but I don't mind that when the beds are comfy and the amount of space was terrific. Lovely water pressure in the shower too. Reception was... More
