The Clyde Hotel, hotel in Wairoa

Situated in Wairoa, The Clyde Hotel features accommodation with free WiFi and seating area. The property has river views. The homestay has private entrance.

There is limited accommodation in Wairoa. My room had an outlook over the river on the main street, very little traffic noise in the evening when I was there. There is wifi and nextflix which other places haven't had. The bathroom had a bath and overhead shower so able to relax at the end of the day. The Clyde Hotel would have to be an iconic piece of Wairoa history and inside I really like how it feels like stepping back in time with some home comforts. If you are expecting the Hilton this is not for you.

    Wairoa is totally underrated.

    Wairoa is totally underrated. I know it's got a reputation for gangs and gang fights over the years but it took me by surprise for the following reasons: 1. The river walk was one of the most serene and best river walks I've had around NZ towns... and I've practically been everywhere in NZ. 2. The Norfolk Pine along the river were some of the most mature and magnificent trees I've seen. They definitely rival the ones along the Napier-Hastings motorway. 3. The road to the beach was literally 5 mins away from our accommodation. You get a fantastic view of the South Pacific Ocean and over the mountain range westward, you can watch some fantastic sunsets. I spent my 2022 New Years here and I saw off 2021 with a fantastic orange/yellow sunset (the kind you see in Bali).

    Overnight stay attending a funeral.

    Overnight stay attending a funeral. GPS not working when we arrived and only a dairy open so had a pie out of the warmer for dinner that night - couldn't find takeaways and too tired to drive around. Left town next day. Recommend visit to Lake Waikaremoana.

    This is a pretty small town but a much quieter place to stay than Napier or Gisborne if your heading up the East Coast. It's good base for an easy drive to Lake Waikaremoana, and for our last trip there was to drive past the lake all the way through to Rotorua on the 100+ km's of gravel roads.

    Its a pretty little town with an amazing playground for children which seems to be well maintained and clean. Far better kept than Auckland playgrounds, The scenery in Wairoa is also quite spectacular. People there are also very nice,

    I am biased about Wairoa and its district as my people come from there, I grew up out of Wairoa but was taught at home about it. There is a lot to know and learn about - in this instance the Maori history of this area. Its huge. From the regions mountain (Whakpunake - known as the hook of Maui (a legendary Maori god who it is said fished up the North Island.) Mount Whakapunake is considered to be the place where Mauis hook caught the fish and dragged up the North Island. Tukemokihi sheep station one of New Zealands largest stations, incorporating cattle farms, a natural water dam amongst other things. Tiniroto (meaning many small lakes.). Mahia Peninsular. There is a rich and incredible histoy in this seemingly sleepy looking place.

    Osler's is a great place to stop and have a cuppa!

    Osler's is a great place to stop and have a cuppa! On the day, the riverbank looked beautiful and the playground looked really great and I am sure families visiting with young children, would find it ideal and will keep the children occupied for sometime!

    Traveled for work and needed somewhere to stay at late notice. Found this place and both my workmate and I didn't have high expectations. We were hugely surprised with what we were accommodated with. Clean tidy rooms, great to have a pod coffee machine, strong wifi connection, friendly staff, close to multiple food outlets. Water pressure is better than other places we have stated in Wairoa. Will most definitely stay again!

    The studio cabin was very clean and access to the key was simple. We were heading to Lake Waikaremoana the next morning for a waka ama event, so an overnight stay in Wairoa was a great way to break up the trip. We had a waka attached to the roof of our ute, but parking outside the cabin was roomy and easy to move in and out from.

    Nice, clean room. Comfortable bed. One of the few places to stay near Te Urewera where we wanted to hike. Easy walk to eating establishments right there in Wairoa town. It was a nice experience. We had what seemed to be one of two hotel rooms. Staff handled all with ease. Checkin was different, and went well.

    The Cottage is in a beautiful location, excellent for family. Rose was an amazing host, so friendly and helpful. We already miss Tom the cat and Pigtina the pig. Beautiful Hawkes Bay coastal beach only a walk away and only 15 minutes from Wairoa. I would highly recommend this accomodation.

    It is a hidden gem. The stand alone Studios at the back of the property are exceptional and look over the Wairoa River. Comfortable bed, quality crisp linen, kitchenette has everything, modern bathroom with excellent pressure in shower.

    This is a quirky hotel in a historic building in the town. Great location overlooking the river. The welcome and service were great. Our host couldn't be more helpful.
