Black Swan Lakeside Boutique Hotel, Rotorua
Lakeside boutique hotel offering modern rooms, a pool, rose gardens, and an acclaimed dining experience
This one surprised me -- It was nicer than I expected and very comfortable -- a true boutique hotel
Overview
Enjoy a comfortable stay at Black Swan Lakeside Boutique Hotel, a modern property on Lake Rotorua's edge that offers unobstructed lake views. Relish the natural environment and explore the city of Rotorua in a 5-minute drive. The hotel is conveniently located within a few minutes drive of popular attractions, such as Mitai Māori Village and Skyline Rotorua, making it an ideal base for exploring the city. When you're not discovering Rotorua, you can relax in the hotel's rose gardens, sweeping lawns, and sandy beach.
Black Swan Lakeside Boutique Hotel offers nine guest rooms, each designed to provide a distinct experience. The Lake Front suites, for example, offer a more romantic getaway with full glass sliders opening to a beautiful, intimate lake view where you can enjoy a glass of wine by your in-room fireplace or soak in a solid stone bath. The Swan King rooms offer a peaceful setting with private outdoor terraces or views across the courtyard and garden to the lake. You can also enjoy a cozy interior with classic and contemporary furnishing and your own fireplace. Swan Family rooms and a Garden View room cater to larger groups or families and are designed to feel like a home away from home with premium furnishings and ample space.
For dining, the Black Swan Lakeside Boutique Hotel offers a highly acclaimed a la carte dinner menu prepared by the hotel's chef. The warm, welcoming atmosphere perfectly complements the panoramic views of the lake. Apart from the dining options, the hotel also offers a day spa, an added luxury that completes the overall Black Swan experience. You can spend your day relaxing on the designer lounges, soaking in the pool with a lake view, or exploring the secret cave, where you'll feel more at home with nature.

This one surprised me -- It was nicer than I expected and very comfortable -- a true boutique hotel
The Black Swan was lovely, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed wine and cheese by the pool and the breakfast was good. We also enjoyed our dinner in the restaurant. We were disappointed the morning we had to leave early when we understood breakfast was served from 7 and no one was there.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel.
