8/10 Good
"Fantastic property. Huge room that was well appointed. Loved the comfortable bed and outdoor enclosed deck. Check in was easy but it was a pity that the staff member was not warm and welcoming."

Taupo DeBretts Spa Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed only one night but I really think this is a place you would want to spend a couple of days to get maximum benefit from everything on offer. Only issue was the soap dispenser in the shower ran out of soap while I was in the shower (last one of three to use it) other than that enjoyable stay."
