"We stayed in the family room with a spa. The spa is a bit old and the paint was flaking off it. Also took ages to fill up and if you leave it, the water slowly drains out. But the kids loved it. Would also suggest going to laundromat if you want laundry done as the washing machine and dryer ($2 for 30 mins) is pretty average. Would have been good if a quick vacuum was given everyday too - kids mean crumbs everywhere. Towels get changed, everything gets cleaned n beds made everyday. Front counter is super friendly. Overall no complaints. Fitted our requirements."

"We stayed three nights, it was a perfect location and the room was clean and worked well for us. The only thing I would point out was that the pool cues in the games room had no ends on them and the pool balls were not all there, my kids and I enjoy playing on a pool table so were disappointed that we were unable to play. Other than that I recommend Ika Nui and will stay there again."

"The room was clean, had everything we needed , beds were comfy very comfy , had all the amenities including air con and running hot water which catered to me and my family of 4. Very quiet and you even get views of Lake Taupo from the room . For the price we paid we got more than we bargained for 👏. Props to the house keepers whom work hard day in day out to get these rooms looking the way they do for guests. Only downside is when you’re going to the pools be mindful it’s A steep walk down and then back up once you are done swimming . That’s the biggest downfall with De Bretts , and run down."
