Come and enjoy a fun fuelled family day out at New Zealand's premier hot springs - Taupo DeBretts!
With numerous indoor, outdoor and private pools and spa's plus a kids water playground, Taupo DeBretts has your family fun covered!
Bathe away all the cares in the world amongst natural surroundings at the iconic Taupo DeBretts Hot Springs & Water Park. Enjoy two large outdoor mineral pools complete with inviting waterfall, lush landscaping and bubbling hydrotherapy spots to work those tired muscles. Rest easy on our popular Water Air-Bed, whilst absorbing the New Zealand native surroundings of Onekeneke Valley.
Take a break in one of 12 indoor private pools and enjoy a soak in absolute seclusion in various soothing temperatures. Cool off in our fresh-water chlorinated pool or two spa pools. The perfect spot for a good old game of Marco Polo. The little ones will get a thrill out of our Interactive Warm Water Playground, equipped with a slide, spinning wheels, a water mushroom and a wicked tipping bucket!
Our four storey high Dragon Slide offers an open tube thrill before zipping through the Dragon’s head and landing in a warm 1.2 metre deep pool. To add more thrills, you might want to zoom down one of two heated Racing Hydro Slides. Choose from the translucent Blue Crush or Gold Rush, both offering twisty turns at the same distance. Taupo DeBretts Hot Springs benefits all age’s groups, whether it be for relaxation, therapeutic purposes or just plain fun, feel the experience for yourself.
We went there in the middle of the afternoon in a rainy day, because of that there were only a few youngsters around, but the place is definitely family oriented. Water wasn't that hot, which is good for kids to stay a bit, there's also some pretty Maori sculptures around. The benches and little falls around the green hot pools are a treat for your back and legs and the staff is walking around all the time to help if something happen. Changing rooms and toilets could be cleaner but nothing major. P.s. The floor on the changing room is warm, which is a nice surprise when you get there and take your shoes off.
We had an amazing time, we visited at midday and were provided with a day pass, so we returned that evening and the kids had the time of their lives playing in the kids area. They loved all of the lights and the water slides. Have to commend DeBretts for being inclusive as well, not requiring vaccine passes for the waterpark at all of the traffic light settings (despite the bookme listing currently suggesting otherwise for red and orange). Awesome stuff!
I never went due to COVID and level 4 lockdown. I am seeking refund :)
