Cabin was very cramped and in need of an update. Bedding looked like it was from the 80s. Sleeps 4 but only has seating for 2. Shower cubicle so small, we weren’t able to shower our small children.
Even with discount for staying there, access to the hot pools was going to cost our small family over $50 - we didn’t bother as pools only open for a few more hours so not worth it.
The cabin was clean and facilities at the campground great. Kids loved the bouncing pad and playground.
Location was great as this was a stop over on our longer road trip, good to be able to get off and on the bypass easily without needing to go into town
We love De Bretts, but the finishing touches were missing this time. We paid $960 for 3 nights, the room wasn't serviced for 3 days, dishwasher liquid not supplied, service requests not followed up. Hot pool renovation is awesome and very cool for kids.
The unit was great and clean, and conveniently placed.
No rubbish bags replaced after taken away.
Very dissapointed the pools were closed during our stay.
The view of the lake was awesome and when the sky was clear you could see Mt ruapehu from our lodging. The heated floor was a bonus for the winter chill and the beds were nice and soft. Town was down the road and family activities were close by. Was an amazing time for me and my family.

It’s a good property for a family stay and having a hot water park is an additional discount.
