    Tairawhiti Gisborne 10

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 35

Follow the beautiful East Coast from north to south, travel from Ōpōtiki along winding roads through picturesque towns down to the city hub of Gisborne.

State Highway 2

Travel south from Gisborne along the coast and through Tairāwhiti wine country towards Wairoa. Enjoy beautiful beaches, relaxed towns, stunning surf breaks, beautiful hot springs and bush-clad walking tracks.

Inland Gems

Stargazing, Mountain Biking and one of New Zealand's favourite waterfalls, these are just some of the inland gems not to be missed.
