a lovely place with great staff 🌷🌷
Pros:

been before thoroughly enjoyed so returned

Cons:

the music in the dining room/ bar, way toooo loud, don’t we meet up for a drink and / or a meal to converse but then can’t hear yourself think ☹️ And at breakfast, way toooo loud 😡 seems the property owner likes the ambience tooo loud “ music” gives to the property 🫩 maybe a little thought needs to be given to the paying guest 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at Clarence Boutique. We loved the design-led style, and the beds were super comfortable. The staff were lovely too. We would definitely stay again.

Cons:

Some people might prefer to stay in the hustle and bustle of The Mount, but we didn’t mind the 10-minute drive over the bridge to the beach and the better food options. But we liked how quiet it was at The Clarence, it meant we got a better sleep.

Oh and the bathroom door was a sliding door-style, which even with dark frosted glass wasn’t totally private. But as I say, even despite this we would stay again!

Pros:

We've stayed twice at the Clarence now, and will definitely be back. It's a lovely hotel, charming, well designed, and with great sized rooms. The restaurant/bar is a lovely place to kick back with a book or meet with friends.

Cons:

Cafe wasn't open for breakfast on weekends, but there are plenty of options that are walkable, or a short drive away.

Will absolutely go back next time we're in Tauranga
Pros:

Beautifully styled rooms and restaurant area. Met family for drinks and dinner nibbles - food was outstanding. Fantastic staff both night and day
Great water pressure in the shower
Super comfortable bed

Cons:

I don't like rain shower heads, and the alternate shower head was one of the narrow kind - which unfortunately sent water everywhere due the the amazing pressure.
