What’s life like in Gisborne?

Gisborne is full of people who came for a holiday and stayed for the lifestyle

Gisborne, the largest settlement in Tairawhiti, is the first city in the world to see the sun each day. It is compact and easy to navigate, surrounded by white sand beaches, world-class surf breaks and naturally fertile soils.

It is a region steeped in history and rich in Maori culture with a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere.

One of the sunniest places in New Zealand, Gisborne is known for producing high quality fruit and vegetables with flourishing vineyards and orchards in abundance.

It is full of people who came for a holiday and stayed for the lifestyle. There are plenty of opportunities to try new sports with rivers, forests and mountains within easy reach.

With a full calendar of events throughout the year, a live-music scene, boutique cinema in the centre of town and a bustling farmers market, Gisborne has got your entertainment needs covered. And we’re only a short flight away from the country’s major cities.
