The breeze along Rotorua’s lakefront whispers a thousand captivating stories of those who were here before us. Our land and lakes have shaped us and inspired us. We are explorers and guardians of this place. In the sunshine Lake Rotorua is a spectacular light show; the clear blue sparkling waters ringed by their green bush-clad hills, with the bold beautiful Ngongotaha looking down over the idyllic red-roofed town, and the steam-clouds of geothermal wonderlands swaying like white feathers against the blue. Then as night falls, stars fill the skies, in an electric symphony of luminosity and if you listen carefully, you can hear the swans musical whisper across the misty water. This sanctuary is home to Black Swan where the stories of these colourful lands are shared in a setting of luxury. With unspoilt views of Lake Rotorua, you'll be thoroughly immersed in waterfront atmosphere.
As we experience life we realise that in a world where we are spoilt for choice EXPERIENCE is what makes a memorable moment. Arthur, you are a class act and what you deliver at the Black Swan is world class. Congratulations and I couldn’t recommend a visit to The Black Swan more highly. We’ll be back.
It’s such a beautiful property right on the lake and the service is exceptional. The food is amazing - the choice of breakfast is fabulous and our three course dinner was delicious. Arthur was so welcoming and together with Andrew, who also looked after us, was so professional yet warm and friendly with it. All the little touches like a teddy bear on the bed, the cosy Citta robes and slippers, the free snacks and non-alcoholic drinks the room, the amazing Spa with a view of the lake, super comfy beds all add up to a very special stay. We only wish we had booked in for 4 nights instead of 3!
Stunning and quiet location. The rooms are very nicely decorated and the hotel is set in lovely grounds. Arthur is very attentive and nothing is too much trouble. The hotel is also in a good location for visiting local attractions.
