Taupo DeBretts Spa Resort
Room was basic but clean and tidy for a one night stop over ! Baths were good but do need alittle updating in the back pools and slides very old would not allow my kid on slides .

Stag Park Accommodation
Comfortable bed, excellent shower, unpretentious and clean. Diner not open when advertised but plenty of other foodie places nearby. Quieter accommodation than I expected!

The staff were lovely. Tried to help us get the best option. Resort was lovely and quiet. Didn't stay long enough to use all the facilities. No internet for the tv unfortunately but friendly staff made up for it.
