It was opened on 10 March 1902 as Paradise Valley. The name was shortened to Paradise in 1908 and changed to Clematis in 1921.

Trains rarely stop here, except by prior arrangement, often for groups travelling to the Paradise Hotel (behind the station). Clematis contains a small loop siding with a dead end spur, which are staff operated.
