Gisborne, situated in the North Island's Eastland, is the part of New Zealand first to see the light. From Opotiki to Hick’s Bay, Gisborne to Mahia, it is remote and generally unspoiled - the way NZ used to be.
Think the Pacific Coast Highway – countless deserted surf beaches and bays – Waihau, Tokomaru, Tolaga.
Think Te Urewera – the huge national park forest – tramping, hunting and fishing.
Think chardonnay and other wines from Gisbourne's vineyards – Millton, Amor Bendall, Montana.
Think action – surfing, diving with sharks, wind-surfing, jet-rafting and sand-yachting.
Think relaxation and comfort – Gisborne's accommodation includes B&Bs, seaside apartments, Muirs Bookshop, many cafes and bars.
