My Experience

I have been to Taupo Hot Springs (beside De Bretts camping ground) several times whilst visiting Taupo. Very much a family oriented place which sports a few interestingly shaped outdoor pools and a dozen private spas. Bring a ball to play with.

  1. My family visited these hot pools this weekend and were disappointed. The facilities at these pools just aren't up to modern standards. The changing rooms and toilets are small and basic. The women's changing room only has 4 cubicles. There was limited places to sit in the pools so alot of people sat on the steps making access in and out difficult. When seats in the pools did become available they weren't particularly comfortable anyway. That said, the setting is great and the pool temperatures are just about spot on, comfortably hot in the lounging pool and cooler in the main pool. More bubble jets would have made an improvement. Whilst I am sure it was particularly busy being school holiday week, we shall not be hurrying back anytime soon.

  2. Greatest place to relax. Water and facilities all very clean. Nice staff too. The hill walk down to the pools is steep, but there is some parking at the bottom if you have elderly/infirm in your group.

  3. Great location, very family friendly. Good to unwind and let life's worries soak out of you. Only negative was playing the damn commercial radio station. 2 songs, 20 adverts, 5 minutes of DJ waffle is not exactly relaxing. Remove that, they would get 10/10.

  7. Absolutely Fantastic place to go. Although it costs $15, I found it to be well worth it. The Staff were fantastic...Hydroslide is interesting, Will definately go back next time I'm up in taupo.

  10. Hi everyone. Just wanted to say thank you to all the friendly staff for a good time during our recent stay in 2008. This was the best site we stayed at in our hired motor home without a doubt for many reasons. The location is also great for visits. My kids liked the sky movie. The whole area was very clean. By the way the coffee was great also. See you next time.

  11. I love this place! The pools are large enough that I never feel crowded, and the water is so clean! Best part is the water doesn't smell of sulfer. I asked the manager and they said it was because the water source was so deep underground. The surroundings are so beautiful. The private pools are top notch, love the upgrades.

  12. Always go there, and after 21 years of visiting it it never fails to impress. The slide really can take it out of you, even the kids will be stuffed. Then you can always pick your pool to get comfy again

  15. Taupo Hot Springs is by far the best facility we have ever been to, as it caters for children so that busy parents have a chance to relax as well. DeBretts accommodation is brilliant, the staff are friendly and the accommodation is comfortable,while still staying within the budget. A must see!

  17. My favourite hot pools. There is a variety of pools to soak in, from two main outdoor pools at different temperatures, smaller pools and a hydroslide, to private pools with temperatures ranging from toe-tingling hot to just plain warm. All spring water, cf heated lake water at AC Baths.
