We had a great holiday in Clyde recently and we wanted to plug the lodge where we stayed. Be sure to book your Accommodation in Clyde at
45 Sunderland Street Clyde.

The perfect place to base yourself on your Central Otago adventure, 45 Sunderland Street Clyde offers boutique accommodation within the walls of this historic 150 year old stone cottage.

The home has been lovingly restored and renovated, and features 4 bedrooms, 2 lounges, two sunrooms, a private country garden and a spa pool and a cat.

Located within five minutes walk of all five of Clyde's cafe's and bars and 1 minute away from Oliver's Restaurant and Bar, 45 Sunderland Street is perfectly located so you can fully explore the historic village of Clyde , in Central Otago.
