    Waihau Bay 07

Located at the easternmost point of the North Island

Tairāwhiti means ‘the coast upon which the sun shines across the water' and is the first place to see the sunrise each day.

The land of the first light is renowned for its world-first sunrises but also recognised as a fantastic region to indulge in one of many flourishing vineyards in the area.

Spanning from the top of the East Cape to the treasures of Turanganui-a-Kiwa Gisborne, the captivating mix of destinations in Tairāwhiti is as breathtaking for first-time visitors to those who frequently journey to these shores. Get amongst it!

State Highway 2

Inland Gems
