Located in the leafy township of Cambridge, Waikato, The Clements, awarded One MICHELIN Key in 2026, is a study in updated nostalgia – this historic hotel has been reimagined to take its place amongst New Zealand’s finest provincial hotels.

The sensitively restored and renovated building has been transformed into The Clements, awarded One MICHELIN Key in 2026, a boutique hotel featuring 29 guest rooms and complemented by extensive Food & Beverage (F&B) operations. Steeped in history, this property is iconic and promises to become a popular weekend dining destination with locals; opening soon, the plush basement bar will have a prohibition era vibe with an extensive cocktail list and the restaurant serves contemporary cuisine, inspired by the local Cambridge food scene, using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Original features within the hotel include a magnificent sweeping staircase, stunning stained-glass, parquet flooring, high ceilings and luxurious furnishings.
