Lee is a very friendly host. Villa Shemshi is remotely situated on a farm and is lovely and quiet. My room was well supplied with everything I needed.
The river view, wharf view in the evening was gorgeous.
The river view, wharf view in the evening was gorgeous. The walkway and boardwalk are a desirable, peaceful place to walk. The beach was the highlight of our visit as well as the farmers market. We preferred the beautiful fresh food from the farmers market opposed to take aways and restaurants we've dined at previously. We ate at a variety of cafes, restaurants and take aways. Without naming them we'll definitely be buying fresh produce and using the BBQ provided at our motel or available at Midway beach to cook our own steak served with fresh local produce, including fine wine, bread and honey. It's easy to get around Gisborne, but be aware of hazardous drivers and pedestrians. On our next visit we will avoid over spending trying to source excitable and palatable cuisine including takeaways.

Full of character with many 19th c buildings still surviving. Lovely beaches east and west with excellent access. Strong Maori influence including Cook's landing interpretations. City easy to access, with outrageous parking charges made until midnight on Saturday night! With accommodation, restaurant, gifts, and fuel costs spent amounting to NZ$2000 over three nights of our stay... give us a break

There are better places to visit that are much less difficult to travel to than Gisborne, we went because we had never been before so it was good to see the place but wouldn’t go to the trouble to go back.
Roadworks from Napier to Gisborne were many with many stoppages. Long slow winding road. Gisborne to Whakatane however was a very pleasant very scenic drive starting off with Gisborne's horticulture then farmland then through a native forested river gorge. Gisborne's main retail strip looks great and is well laid out, the palm trees set it off so well on a sunny day. The famous Eastwoodhill Arboretum was a bit of a let down, it was a big reason we finally decided to add Gisborne to our trip however it didn’t live up to the online pictures and information we saw of it. Basically it’s just hilly farmland heavily planted out sporadically with various trees and riddled with many tracks colour coded but good luck trying to completely follow a particular track as some markers weren’t there at various intersections. It’s nice for a bit of a hilly tree walk but there is nothing particularly organised or grand about the plantings that looks anything like you see of tree plantings in various Botanical Gardens.

My first time visit to gisborne. Town centre is not big, but it was interesting. I enjoyed the botanical gardens and small museum during my visit. My visit was the middle of winter, but still enjoyable.

I found the Cook Landing Reserve to be underwhelming, It was disappointing in that there was not much about Captain Cook at the site, just gourds.
The Gisborne Museum was worth a visit.
The beaches would have been lovely if not for cyclone Hale.

The service is not good enough for one night stay...we ask for milk for cup of tea in the evening but the receptionist said, the housekeeper is going to bring for us...waiting for the evening no one is turned up even in the morning when we left...
Exceptional Stay at The Club in Gisborne
Rating: 10/10
Review: My stay at The Club in Gisborne was absolutely fantastic! The host, was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring I had a comfortable and memorable experience.
The property boasts a perfect blend of history and modern amenities, providing a unique and enjoyable atmosphere. I can't recommend this place highly enough for anyone visiting Gisborne!
I had such a wonderful visit to Gisborne, and the location of the Gisborne Dream family suite is fantastic! I hired a bicycle from nearby Cycle Gisborne and visited vineyards, wineries, the cidery, op shops, and beaches. I appreciated the eco-friendly cleaning products. The bed was
Extremely comfortable place to stay. Bedroom, bathroom, living room and full kitchen. Alan and David are lovely hosts, and David provided delicious home-baked treats each day. Definitely felt "at home". Downtown Gisborne is a quick drive away, or a pleasant 15 minute walk.
Really enjoyed our stay. Quiet despite being busy and packed. The facilities were awesome, clean and tidy with so much space to unwind. Hubby enjoyed the shower so much, definitely something we needed after a long few days,will definitely be back when in Gisborne
From our first step into the hotel we loved it , the patio views with our breakfast was amazing and the cleanliness of our room was exceptional, new towels and whatever else we needed freshly done every morning, thank yous so very much for the beautiful stay
The friendliness of the owner, when we arrived I asked where would be a good place to have dinner he mentioned a couple of restaurants but later I found he had printed off all the great places with addresses where we could get a great meal, great service.
The manager Scott was super friendly when we arrived, the room was clean, it had all the amenities we needed for our one night stay and the kids loved the spa bath. It was also a short drive to the city and Gisborne airport. ☺️
We thought it was amazing vet handy to where we needed to go and absolutely stunning when the sun came out. Would definitely recommend this accommodation to all our friends and family if we head back to Gisborne in the future.
Fantastic presentation and a lovely breakfast included. This was the cheapest accommodation and certainly the best I have had in Gisborne. Two Palms get a 5 star rating in my book.
Loved the location, ground floor pool side apartment. Absolutely loved the furniture, decor, artwork - everything. Very boutique/luxury, beautiful and super comfortable.
A well-appointed room with good self-catering facilities. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Perfect for a short or longer stay in the Gisborne area.
