The Bothy is a beautiful place to stay in Taupō. The views are amazing, and we loved that it was an easy walk down the hill to the lake front, and a bonus finding a thermal stream into the lake 5 mins walk from the Bothy! The space itself was cosy and comfortable and had everything we needed. The kids especially loved their mezzanine floor bedroom. Belinda and Hugh were wonderful hosts, very friendly and helpful, and very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!
