Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Clarence?
The best area to stay in Clarence is along the coast, particularly around the Clarence River mouth and the Clarence Reserve.

This area is the primary hub for visitors to Clarence, offering direct access to the rugged coastline and the river. It's characterised by its natural beauty, with opportunities for coastal walks and wildlife spotting. The main focus here is on outdoor activities and enjoying the natural environment.

Couples looking for a tranquil escape will find this area particularly appealing. The remoteness offers a chance to disconnect and enjoy the stunning scenery together, perhaps with a coastal stroll or by simply relaxing and taking in the views of the South Pacific Ocean.

Families will also appreciate the Clarence Reserve area for its access to nature.
When is the best time to go to Clarence?
The best time to visit Clarence is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, making it ideal for outdoor activities.

During this period, you can fully enjoy the coastal activities like kayaking, paddleboarding, and swimming in the Pacific Ocean. The longer daylight hours also provide ample time for exploring the Clarence River estuary, known for its birdlife and fishing opportunities. This season is superb for couples and families looking for a relaxed beach holiday with plenty of sunshine and warm temperatures.

Alternatively, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) also offer pleasant conditions. The weather is milder, and there are fewer crowds, which can be appealing for those seeking a more tranquil experience.
