Our stay at the Black Swan hotel was lovely. The gorgeous garden overlooking the lake was beyond our expectations. We had both breakfast and dinner onsite and the service was impeccable. We felt like kings. A very memorable stay. We will be back. Thank you

The property feels like a private home when you’re in the garden. We watched the sunset and played around in the garden and felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. It has a guest lounge with games and it feels like you could just hang out there for a week and enjoy yourself. We only had 2 nights but made ourselves right at home thanks to the hospitality of Rowena and her associate. Definitely stay at Black Swan!

This was a lovely small inn set on beautiful landscaped property (trickling waterfall, gardens, pool, etc) overlooking the lake. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Meals were delicious! For breakfast, which was included , we loved the combination of cold options set out as a buffet along with a hot entree made to order. This was all served in a dining room overlooking the lake. The room was clean, private and peaceful. Beds were super comfortable . Would love to go back here someday!

The hotel is very nice, but very limited in amenities. No gym, no spa, no restaurant, no bar. If you get good weather, it is fine because Rotorua is gorgeous, but the price is too steep ($600 ) for what the hotel offers
