"Room was clean and tidy.
However the drive way was so steep that our standard Corolla grounded so hard we had to park at the McDonald’s next door a higher SUV tho would be ok can I suggest that if possible the top of the drive be flattened a bit. The house was very good value and the instructions spot on so aside from the drive a very good value for money stay Thanks"

A special experience and a superb setting. One night was not enough; a minimum of three nights is needed to be able to appreciate what the Lodge has on offer, and to fully relax.

Heaven on Earth! This little place is incredible, so close to Rotorua and all there is to do there. The lake front view, dining, quiet atmosphere make this place GREAT for a couple's getaway. The room was a little small, but very comfortable and the view of the lake from the bed or the tub can't be beat! My only regret is we didn't stay longer.

Comfortable and well-equipped cabin in beautiful surroundings. Quiet and family-friendly. We especially enjoyed the glow worm cave just a short walk away.

Loved the private outside hot tub, completely private . Plenty of water to fill it between uses. The room is spacious. The bathroom was modern and the shower impeccable with glass enclosure. We always bring the our own coffee machine but there were other options for coffee. It was close to all amenities and attractions.
The staff was super accommodating. I did t use the stove but fridge was spacious for our needs.

My fiancé and I absolutely loved the black swan hotel!! Such a relaxing environment to unwind after a busy travel day or activities around Rotorua. Would 1000% recommend!

Our check-in felt a bit awkward—we were told many (many) times how the property and views are “quite stunning” as we were shown around.
Everything else was very nice. Room had a great view, and we really liked the breakfast (and breakfast staff). Parking on the hill was tricky!

The location is very convenient, and the property has been newly renovated. The interior is clean, modern, and stylish. The staff were friendly and even offered us vouchers for local activities, which was a lovely surprise.
There were only two minor drawbacks. First, in our room type, all the bedrooms were upstairs while the only toilet was downstairs, which was a little inconvenient, especially at night. Second, the tea bags provided weren't very fragrant.
Other than these small issues,...

Waterfront BnB with free kayaking and tennis. 10 minutes drive to city center which is nice as it keeps you out of the sulfur smell but still close to everything. Hosts are very nice.
Multiple delivery services can be used for dinner.

Great experience considering most were not in New Zealand. The attention to detail really shows. Is it a perfect place? No, but they do what they can with what they have. I was very satisfied with the room, staff and everything about the property.

I had a room where 3 of the 5 walls were full windows to the walkway to all the rooms. This gave a lot of light and good views, but also meant anyone could see into the room, so I mostly just shut all the curtains the whole time. Parking was very good, and the room was very large. Shower in bathroom was set up as a jacuzzi-shower, so there wasn't walls keeping the water in the tub very well. Staff was friendly and provided amenities even upon late arrival
