Sometimes you long for a holiday away from the throbbing bass of busy nightclubs and neon lights of red light districts. Maybe your Instagram followers wouldn’t understand, but we do. There’s nothing wrong with a holiday spend riding an epic wave and even (gasp!) turning off your phone for a few days. If you don’t mind us saying so, Gisborne might be exactly what you need, so mosey on over to this North Island destination and soak up some Vitamin C. Here’s a fun fact: Gisborne is the first place on Earth to see the sun rise every day. Talk about being ahead of the game! Book cheap accommodation in Gisborne here on lastminute.co.nz, and all that’s left to do is pack the sun cream.

Things to Do in Gisborne

Gisborne is known for two things: uncrowded beaches and liquid gold (aka Chardonnay). In other words, if you’re into getting tan and tipsy, you just found your new home away from home. You can even build your own surfboard here with a local surf company, then try your best Tom Carroll impression just offshore. Once you dry off, see if the “Chardonnay Capital of New Zealand” lives up to the hype (spoiler: it does) on the boutique wine trail. Thanks to the cheap hotels in Gisborne, you should have plenty of budget for tastings.

Getting To & Around Gisborne

Beginning your Gisborne holiday is easy thanks to the daily service between Auckland Airport (AKL) and Gisborne Airport (GIS). You can also catch a direct flight from Wellington International Airport (WLG) to Gisborne. Once you’ve had a chance to put your bags down at your Gisborne accommodation, getting around town is as easy as “forgetting” to check your work email for a few days. Car hire and taxis are both at your service.
