Stay, explore, and belong in Tairāwhiti

There’s no shortage of places to stay in Tairāwhiti - from luxe lodges to laid-back locals. Sleep your way.

Sometimes it’s the mismatched mugs, or the fact your host bakes sourdough and plays vinyl. But it’s not all quirks and converted sheds - Tairāwhiti’s home to boutique hotels, eco-retreats, and carefully crafted places to stay in Gisborne that feel considered from the ground up. From design-led lodges to sweet back-country digs, seaside baches to holiday parks with heart, there’s a place to match your pace. Wherever you land, it’s easy, welcoming, and full of local stories.
