We really enjoyed our two-night stay in the Bothy. Belinda and Hugh have crafted an adorable, self-contained space with everything you could possibly need during your stay, plus some nice extras like fresh milk and a little bowl of chocolates. You can't beat the view from the picture window overlooking Lake Taupo, and it's just a short walk down to the lakeside to admire the beautiful view in-person. If you're in Taupo, definitely check out the Bothy!
