If your last 'romantic' escape consisted of a punctured tyre, rain soaked tent and a slight mishap upon opening the bottle of bubbly, then it's time to redeem yourself and escape into luxury. 

Grab a two night midweek escape for two in a superior lodge including cooked breakfast both mornings, a bottle of wine and all day hot pools passes at Taupo DeBretts Spa Resort, for only $295. 

Uniquely located five minutes from Taupo city and only 800 metres from New Zealand’s largest lake, with stunning panoramic views to Lake Taupo and the volcanoes of the Tongariro National Park, this is the perfect destination for a midweek break. Stay in the superior lodge and delight in a drink on your own private covered deck. The lodges are fully self-contained apartments with all the modern conveniences. If you need to chill out at the end of the day, there is Sky TV with five in-house movie channels. 

Surrounded by thousands of trees, plants, hedges and foliage this truly is a magical  place to escape to. The Taupo Hot Springs are natural mineral pools and pool complex right on site. With the all day hot pool passes take full advantage of the warmth of the spa on those chilly mornings and equally chilly nights.
