Originally named Turanga-nui-a-Kiwa (in Maori, “the great standing place of Kiwa”), Gisborne is a center of Maori cultural life. Sometimes called the City of Rivers, Gisborne sits at the convergence of three rivers. Gisborne’s Kaiti Beach is where British navigator James Cook made his first landing in New Zealand, and the Kaiti Hill Lookout has expansive views of the city and the blue water of Poverty Bay.
Take an excursion to Te Urewara National Park to see the flora, fauna and beautiful Lake Waikaremoana; or, explore the vineyards and wineries that produce fine chardonnay.
