Johann, May 2025
Pros (+) We had such a great stay at the Black Swan! The staff gave us a really warm welcome, and our room was super clean and just what we expected. Breakfast was delicious, and the service was spot on. The gardens were beautiful, the lake view was amazing, and it was so cool to see black swans up close. We’d definitely love to come back!
Cons (-) Not much

Pros (+) Real fast was great. The spa/pool/gardens beautiful
Cons (-) We stayed in 2 separate rooms. The first room the staff were talking until late in the evening (12ish) and the room had little sound proofing. The second room we stayed in the guests were talking until midnight when I knocked on the wall. Really nice hotel, ruined by inadequate new building rubbish sound proofing.

Pros (+) Beautiful property though some facilities were a little tired. Gardens were lovely to wander around. We had nine of us plus a two year old there for our staff dinner and the staff were very accommodating to our needs. The dinner was fine but a little disappointing though the service we were given was excellent. Lovely breakfast .

Corruble, Mar 2025
Pros (+) The location and garden are nice
Cons (-) Disappointing and overpriced are the 2 adjectives I would use to describe the Black Swan Boutique hotel of Rotorua. For US$800 per night, in a small town, I expect to be dazzled with small attentions, an outstanding service and a posh room. The room while clean was starting to show serious signs of wear and tear (such as shredding silk drapes, a yellowing toilet seat cover, loosely secured soap ho...

Ashley, Mar 2025
Pros (+) The setting was beautiful with wonderful gardens
Cons (-) We stayed in room 7, it was not clean with mildew on the shower curtain and bar area had not been cleaned on our arrival. The room above generated lots of noise which woke us up each morning.

Pros (+) Black Swan was better than expected with the warm pool, romantic nooks to cozy up outside, sweeping views, fabulous restaurant, and quiet atmosphere. It felt so private, luxurious, and peaceful. We appreciated the extra touches like the parrots, complimentary refreshments, and (of course!) all the black swans.
