Black Swan Lakeside Boutique Hotel

Black Swan is a small mainstream hotel on the edge of Lake Rotorua at Kawaha Point, about 3 km north of the city centre. Its own site lists eight suites, a private jetty, gardens, an outdoor pool and spas, and a restaurant, and it's pitched at couples. There's no gay-specific offer. It rates 4.6 on Google from about 175 reviews, with guests mostly mentioning the lake views, the grounds and the spa pool. It's a quiet place to stay and you'll need transport for anything in town.
