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.

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.

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.

The hotel itself is fine if slightly dated, and perhaps less "high end" than we had hoped. The snacks in the room were a welcome addition, and were refilled with regularity.

The hotel itself is fine if slightly dated, and perhaps less "high end" than we had hoped. The snacks in the room were a welcome addition, and were refilled with regularity. The room was clean and comfortable, and had a very nice view. The beds were pretty comfortable as well. The hotel is somewhat lacking in amenities, but perhaps you could chalk it up to being the winter season and not being able to take advantage of what appeared to be additional things to do on the grounds during the summer months. The restaurant, in both of our views, was serviceable for breakfast but unfortunately terrible for dinner. The price for dinner wasn't inexpensive and was definitely the wrong move. Overall, the hotel is comfortable and nice enough but avoid the restaurant!

Authenticity & Character
Definitely has "character" and possibly was a former home on the lakefront.
Location
Located pretty centrally in Rotorua.
Staff
Staff was helpful.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Clean and comfortable overall.
