Play in Gisborne

You can surf several of the best breaks New Zealand has to offer, play golf at one of the country's top courses, hook a trophy trout from the Ruakituri river, raft the Motu, tramp or hunt through native bush still virtually untouched, explore a whole coastline of fresh seafood.  The recreational opportunities are awesome.

If gardening is your thing you'll find Gisborne is a paradise, with a temperate climate and fertile land.

Fine dining - and good coffee - is available from an impressive range of restaurants, cafes and bars.  Cinemas offer the full range of movie fare, from the latest Hollywood releases to European art house productions.

Festivals of music, Maori culture, instrumental music, wine and food and gardening regularly draw people from all over the country.
