Gisborne
Gisborne is located on the sunny East Coast of the North Island of New Zealand.
Gisborne City, the most easterly city in the world & is the first to welcome the sunrise each and every day. And where the sun first rises it likes to linger, for Eastland is blessed with a sub-tropical climate most-often enjoying clear blue skies and warm, lazy sunshine. The perfect base for exploring all that Eastland has to offer, Gisborne’s city centre is a sunny, palm-shaded, pedestrian friendly esplanade on the shores of the Pacific Ocean.
From Gisborne one can venture north around the East Coast towards Opotiki to discover many secluded bays offering perfect swimming and surfing beaches. Venturing south travellers will come across Morere Hot Springs situated amongst the native bush and on further to Lake Waikaremoana, one of New Zealands 10 Great Walks situated in Te Urewera National Park and home to the Tuhoe, known as ‘the children of the mist’. This magical part of New Zealand, hidden from the crowds and known by few, is one of New Zealand’s best kept secrets. Where ever you travel within Eastland you will be overcome with the beauty, the tranquility and the welcoming people who are so proud of their piece of paradise.
Eastland hosts a wide range of soft adventure activities – surfing, safe swimming (in both lakes and ocean), white water rafting, horse trekking, bush walks, jet boating, trout fishing, deep sea fishing, golf, diving, kayaking and snorkeling with sharks (in a cage of course).
