The motel has people living there..couple living next door with a massive dog..didn't feel %100 safe It was a bit expensive for what it was

- Ed (7/5): A peaceful riverfront with plenty of dining options nearby - Conveniently located with plenty of dining options nearby, plus a peaceful waterfront where you can sit and watch the birds come and go. The air conditioner in the next room is loud, and we can hear it in our room
- helen (10/5): - Just beautiful sitting in the morning looking out at the water while we had our cuppa's
- Tarryn (10/5): -
- Kylie (8/5): Great location, clean rooms with everything you need - Great location. Clean rooms and fully stocked with everything you need. They have thought of everything. Comfortable beds. The only thing is that the road out the front was very noisy, being a Saturday night that may have been worse than normal although it is a main road so to be expected.

- Alexis (9/5): Cute charming retro motel on the water - Nice small motel right on the water. Water facing rooms were quiet. Nicely appointed with retro chic feel which really elevated the place. Plenty of parking. Everything clean. Great cold aircon plus ceiling fan- which i prefer for sleeping. Nice little touches as well like nespresso machine, tea, hot chocolate and biscuits. Microwave, toaster and kettle, iron and hairdryer also in the room. Room was small but had everything needed. Self checkin and check out was easy (didnt see any staff during our stay). Really nice little place and would happily return. We also liked that it was easy walking distance from shops, restaurants and the RSL club. Bed was a bit too soft for me and my back. Other than that, no complaints.
- Kaye (6/5): - Good location and clean. The motel is in need of an update, but apart from that the room was very small and shower needs a bit of attention (tiles need re-affixing)
- Lynda (10/5): Perfect convenience to shops restaurants - Lake view quite side
- Piers Everitt (8/5): - Waterfront location is great Na

- Kristiana (10/5): Fantastic relaxing place to stay! - Great character- great location ! Nothing
- Sandra (4/5): Clean - Close to cave beach Noise from next door and road
- Ben (8/5): Very happy with the facilities offered by the motel very clean and tidy - The room was imaculant, bed was comfortable and I had the best motel pillow, normally motels have terrible pillows that offer no support but not this time Parking Sadly there was not enough parking on site I had to park on the road
- Michele (8/5): The Black Swan motel is a great place for a short stay. - The motel is located in Swansea, and is situated on the waterfront of Black Neds Bay. It is a convenient walk to shops, cafes and pubs and a bus ride away from the local beaches and Newcastle CBD. Would like larger breakfast bowls and sharper knives please.
- Judith (10/5): - Old fashioned charm
- Jennifere (7/5): -
- Cilla (10/5): - Great view around the back, with seating areas. Less than 5 minute walk to the super markets, cafes, restaurants, and fast food. Public transport right outside, takes you to the main shopping centre, Charlestown.
- Justine (10/5): Great place - It was very clean, staff were great and great location
- Sheena (10/5): - Love the retro decor well thought out amenities and very comfy beds. Beautiful view of the water, a nice little stop on our drive back to Melbourne.
- Doig (10/5): -
- Baird (8/5): I was extremely happy with what I got for the money I paid and the lovely guests I met, incl Paul - Liked the location, close to my cousins' house, shops and facilities I was in Room 2, on the highway side. I'm easy and laid back, so no drama, but obviously the rooms with the waterfront view were more lovely.
- Greg (10/5): - A lovely room with nice decor. We had a room at the rear of the property overlooking the river, which was beautiful and very tranquil. Great location with a supermarket, restaurants and a bar just across the road. Also it is only a few minutes drive to Caves Beach, which is stunning.
- Sherilee (9/5): -
- Tatiana (9/5): -

- Salina (10/5): Frequent Visitor! - Friendly staff, amazing views, clean rooms & easy parking. Nothing to add
- Santoso (8/5): - All are in working order. Nothing to complain about. The air conditioner was very loud. But there are 2 air conditioners in the room, I turned off the old one and turned the newer one. It worked and it's quite.
- Dearne (9/5): - Great location! Room was super clean and staff friendly.

- Ai (8/5): 近場のWeekend gateway には最適でした - スーパーやカフェが徒歩圏内で、Lakeを横目に散歩がてら買い物ができる。部屋は決して広くはないが、お皿やカトラリー、シャンプー、コンディショナーも含めて、短期滞在に必要な備品が揃えられているところ 主要道路に面しているので、夜中以外は車の往来の音が絶え間無く、夜も煩く感じる
