We had a lovely stay at the Bothy. It was spotlessly clean throughout and the mezzanine was much more spacious than it seems in the pictures. Belinda and Hugh were very friendly and helpful. Waking up to the lake view was just amazing. The kitchen was quite well equipped, with a plug in hob with one ring, enough to make a cooked breakfast, although as a group of 4, we ate out every evening. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Taupo.
