About Gisborne
Gisborne or 'Gizzy' as it's known to the locals, is New Zealand's most easterly city, being located at the north end of Poverty Bay in the North Island. It was here that Captain Cook first stepped ashore in New Zealand in 1769.
Known for great surf beaches, plenty of sunshine and great wine - the region is the third largest producer in New Zealand of wine grapes after Marlborough and the Hawkes Bay.
The popular Rhythm and Vines New Year's festival is held in Gisborne every year, bringing music fans and holidaymakers flocking here year after year to celebrate.
If you wish to learn more about Maori culture, Gisborne is steeped in history. Many years ago, the first few waka (canoes) that landed in New Zealand first came to Titirangi Hill, Gisborne. A culturally significant place to New Zealand and the region, this is an integral part of Maori history and legends. Visit the Tarawhiti Museum to see early Maori artefacts and photographs.
Kick back and relax at Smash Palace, a bar that has famously provided live music in Gisborne for the past 25 years.
