No hot or warm water for shower, thats ridiculous!
Hi. There is a button you push to activate the hot water and the button is sign posted. We do apologise for the misunderstanding.
Clean water, but older surroundings. Ideal for families with children.
Thank you for your feedback.

LOVE THE PLACE!
My family visited when I was a kid – 1960? Maybe – I visit again as a teenager in 1972. I’ve come back every 10 years or so to visit Taupo, and my favourite holiday spot is still De Brett’s. Sparkling from a recent upgrade, great customer service and blissful hot water. Still SO GOOD at 72. (Didn’t try the new water slide though :-( Next time!)
