Located on the East Coast of the North Island and close to the international date line, Gisborne lays claim to being the first major city in the world to see the new sun. Gisborne is an hour away by air from Auckland in the north and Wellington in the south.
With the sun shining an average of 2200 hours a year, it is also one of the sunniest places in New Zealand. Sunny days and a good surf along the coastline make for a pleasant and enticing holiday location.
From Waikanae Beach to Turanganui River where you can see Young Nick’s statue, or Cook National Historic Reserve, and Young Nick’s Head itself. Gisborne is a land steeped in history with a wide range of activities and attractions. |
