“What strikes me about the Clarence is the blend of historic charm and modern luxury; it's a boutique experience housed in Tauranga's old post office. The Mediterranean cuisine at Clarence Bistro feels authentic, enhanced, I imagine, by a carefully chosen wine list from their in-house sommelier. Its central location makes exploring the city easy, with the added convenience of free parking.”
