The Bothy is a lovely wee place. Small, but cosy with everything you need. Comfortable beds, excellent water pressure in the shower, beautiful grounds, stunning views of Lake Taupō and excellent hosts. Belinda and Hugh go above and beyond and they were very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. Lots of lovely touches such as the fresh produce in the kitchen and the fluffy socks in the bathrobes! The kids absolutely loved the loft. The proximity to 2 Mile Bay was perfect for us. The 2 Mile Bay Sailing Club is a short walk away and does great pizza and coffee and has nice areas to sit. Would highly recommend a stay at The Bothy, you won’t be disappointed.
