This is a very pretty, instagram able hotel. It is clean and the staff was very nice.
The reason I am not giving it 5 stars is that the rooms do not have a deadbolt, chain, or other way for someone inside the room to lock the room so that a hotel employee with a key cannot enter. This is a dealbreaker for me - I would not have stayed here if I had known. The reason is that years ago in another country a hotel employee entered my room with a key and assaulted me. I honestly thought it was a building code requirement for hotels to have deadbolts. I highly recommend the hotel install them.

Staff were amazing. Very helpful and went above and beyond. Property could use a little TLC - definitely a bit of faded elegance. Room 2 is the one to have! Breakfast daily was delicious.

Wonderful staff and service. Views of the lake are incredible. The landscape/grounds are spectacular.
Only wish it had been a bit warmer so we could have used the pool.

The highlight of our stay in Rotorua was the Black Swan. Clean, luxurious, beautiful location. Friendly staff.
We sat on the balcony of our room and watched the steam from the geysers across the lake fill the quiet morning air with steam. A magical moment.
The gardens are perfect and the setting is very peaceful and serene.
A special mention goes to Jason, the day manager. He is friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect.

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!

The Black Swan is a beautiful small boutique hotel. The grounds are gorgeous and the view of the lake is stunning. Rowena and the staff were extremely accommodating and so thoughtful. They treated us like family instead of guests. We had an early tour in the morning and they had our cooked to order breakfast ready an hour before they normally open to allow us to be picked up on time for our tour. We loved our stay and would definitely stay here again! Thank you Rowena! Cheers!

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!

Our stay at Black Swan was absolutely perfect! Everything was beautiful from the place itself to the grounds and all with a view to die for but what really made my husband and I’s stay so wonderful was the property manager Rowena! She took such good care of us and went over and beyond to make sure we didn’t need anything our two nights there. Would recommend anyone wanting an amazing stay that is slightly off the beaten path from all the hustle and bustle to book here. You won’t regret it :)

4.0 / 5.0
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
2.5 / 5.0
The long access driveway down is narrow and windy. However we never encountered opposing traffic so no problem but it would have been a bit scary if there was a on coming traffic and 1 of the cars has to back up to give way. There is just no room for passing.
5.0 / 5.0
Very elegant and comfortable hotel. It’s too bad it was winter. Beautiful gardens. Lots of places to sit and enjoy the view. Fireplace in the room for the chilly evening. Great breakfast overlooking the lake

Sunning accommodation on the lakefront of Rotorua. Great facilities - spa pool in an elevated grotto, swimming pool and gorgeous gardens. Kym, the manager was very welcoming and nothing was a problem.

The quality of the service and condition of the room was impeccable. Quite little hotel located right on the lakefront was a real treat.
