WORLD OCEANIA NEW ZEALAND GISBORNE


Gisborne

Gisborne is a sunny seaside town on the East Coast of the North Island of New Zealand. It is a popular summertime destination as it has a relatively warm, dry and sunny climate, swimming and surf beaches with a more relaxed pace of life than the larger cities.

Get in

Gisborne is a good day's drive from either Auckland or Wellington or half a day from Rotorua or Napier, perhaps longer depending on the route you take.
There are frequent flights from Auckland (1 hour) and Wellington (1 hour) on Air New Zealand.

Get around

Gisborne is a long town, as it has spread out along the main road into town. A car is advisable, though if you are going to the beach, walking is a good idea, as parking is often a problem.
