This is the 5th time I've stayed here; everything has been fantastic. Great place to come camp or take a cabin, fantastic amenities and great to have the pools just next door. Wonderful stay, I'll be back very soon.

Great spot with excellent facilities including pools of various temperatures. The children will be delighted with the water slide. Our unit was very comfortable although instructions on how to use the oven would have helped rather than playing trial and error.

DO NOT BOOK THIS! Our room was not clean. Maybe appears clean if you walk in and see beds are made and the trash is out but look closer. Hair on the pillows, floors and walls. Dead bugs on kitchen floor. Empty soap dispensers. Dishes were dirty with dried food on them. No lake view for us. We got to watch employees from our “chalet”, smoking. We learned our lesson and will pick the back packers lodge next time!! We have better luck with those. On a side note, if you go to Rotorua, book the Ramada Resort by Wyndham!! So clean and super attentive and has a washer and dryer so you can catch up on laundry and keep traveling 😊

We were staying on one of the powered sites with our camper whilst on our honeymoon across NZ, De Brett’s had some of the best facilities we have experienced on our trip! The showers, toilets and kitchen were spotless. The pool is a nice bonus compared to most campsites for a small fee

Our large family had units 6 and 7 for the weekend. Rooms spacious, very clean and tidy. Easy parking. Nice childrens playgrounds and well kept grounds. Walk down to the hot pools may be too steep for very elderly or disabled but once there what a beautiful spot. Surrounded by bush, trees. Located a bit out of town but easy to get to if you have a car. Would highly recommend staying here with a family. Plenty to do with hotpools and playgrounds. Oh and the view of the lake and mountains beautiful too

Hi Sharon. We are truly sorry about your disappointing stay. The cleaners should have checked the oven. You are most welcome to ask for more toilet paper at reception. We have two hydroslides operating, but one was closed for a time that day for maintenance; we are sorry for the inconvenience. We apologize if one of the reception staff were disrespectful in any way; we strive to be friendly and helpful at all times. Thank you for your helpful feedback.

We visited the hot pools at 7.30, knowing they closed at 8.30pm. We were not staying here. Pool was very cool and no fresh water coming into pool. The plug was pulled out and the pool started draining at 7.55pm! We were charged full price for cool water and low levels with water draining away! Disappointed about paying full price for draining pools and cool water without even warning us that this was the case.

Thank you for your feedback. We are truly sorry about the misunderstanding with the pools. Our pools are drained every night for cleaning. You should have been informed about this. We sincerely apologize if you were not informed.

We booked a cabin (with shared toilet/shower facilities). A lovely, tidy, comfortable space. Great location, nice staff. The communal shower/toilet area is one of the best we've seen - underfloor heating, really warm, bright, and clean. We'll be back to stay again.

We stayed a few days at DeBretts for a family gathering with a couple of motor homes, a basic cabin, a motel style unit, a studio and a superior studio. All were good and the amenities and facilities were excellent as were the grounds with lovely trees and hedges between accommodations. Our superior studio looked basic on the outside but was nice inside and very well appointed with underfloor heating, Wifi, large TV with Sky sport and movie channels, and a small outside deck with table and chairs. The kitchenette had a microwave and two hotplates as well as fridge and dish drawer dishwasher and a coffee plunger. We technically had views of the mountains but the weather conspired against us so we had brief glimpses during our stay, but it would be lovely on a fine sunny day. There was shower body wash and shampoo and hand-wash supplied in dispensers and they will service the room and replenish anything as needed daily. Having the hot pools on site was great and we got a discount because we were staying there and towels provided that we could take with us. The playground and bouncy pillow were a big hit with the kids. We gathered in the camp kitchen on the first night and it was also well set up with plenty of options for different groups and a TV/lounge area. The only thing I could fault in our room was the lack of reading lamps/lights. We only had overhead down lights which were all on or off (with a dimmer – but if you dimmed them you couldn’t see to read). We would definitely stay again if in Taupo, it was overall very good and the staff were friendly and helpful.…

The pools are very good. Nice range of heats. Good depths and sizes. The problem is being charged 14 each to go to the pools when we are already staying here We had some issues with not getting our rooms cleaned, and lack of internet, the rooms with the bunks for kids room are pretty cramped. the advertising pictures are very misleading. Yeah still annoyed about having to pay alot to use the pools. It's a fair hike up and down to the pool too.
