Welcome to the historic Clive Hotel!

Welcome to The Clive Hotel, the perfect halfway point between Napier and Hastings on State Highway 51.

With roots going back to 1867 and the current building rising from the devastation after the 1931 earthquake, we've been a hub for locals and visitors ever since. We’re all about bringing people together and creating memories!


Step into our Sports and Lounge Bars, where the walls tell the stories of our past. Whether you're enjoying our spacious all-weather deck out front or relaxing in the sunny garden out back, we’ve got the perfect spot to kick back. Families are welcome! Our fully fenced area features a trampoline and free arcade games to keep the little ones entertained.


Friday nights at The Clive are all about live music that brings the perfect vibe to kick off your weekend! Grab a cold beer, play some pool in the Sports Bar, or even place a bet at our TAB. With 17 screens, you won’t miss a single moment of the action! Feeling lucky? Try your hand at one of our 18 gaming machines.


Looking for a place to host an event? The Clive is your go-to for celebrations big or small. Whether it’s a casual hangout or a special occasion, we’ve got the perfect spot for something unforgettable.
