" To all the team at the resort

Just a note to thank you all for a fabulous stay at Taupo DeBretts Spa Resort last week - Wednesday to Sunday inclusive.

We loved staying in a superior lodge which was very warm and cosy and offered great facilities for our family with views out to the lake and mountains. The heated bathroom floors were an unexpected but nice surpirse. Thank your housekeeping staff for keeping our lodge spotless!

The whole family enjoyed the hot pools next door and the kids loved the dragon slide! We also enjoyed dining at the Ale Steak House (twice!) recommended by your lovely staff.

We would also like to thank Lee and the reservations team who kindly rearranged our accom so we could stay throughout our stay in a superior lodge instead of having to move to a cabin...

We will be back!

Cheers for now" - Rebecca, Eric, Oliver and Milly
