We loved our stay at the Bothy over the Easter weekend. The views were fabulous and it was one of the best appointed AirBnB that we've stayed in. They have brollys, torches and sunhats by the front door, games for kids, spare towels, Deet, DVDs, and Belinda and Hugh even provide tea, milk, bread, eggs and other breakfast bits and bobs. It's a 30 minute walk to Taupo's shops along the lake - very easy for people who enjoy a stroll. The house has off-street parking, behind security gates which gave me peace of mind. And the whole house is very well-maintained. I'm hoping we have the opportunity to return to the Bothy in the not-too-distant future.
