Gisborne: Built in a casual sprawl from the edge of the ocean, Gisborne is the first city in the world to greet the sun each morning. It's also the country's Chardonnay Capital - the local wineries have become a major visitor attraction for Gisborne. Captain Cook first set foot here in 1769, and European settlement began in 1831. The town is named after William Gisborne who was the Colonial Secretary in 1879. Gisborne is one of the few places in New Zealand where Maori cultural traditions are still evident in the day-to-day activities of the people, and where the Maori language is a part of everyday life. Accommodation in Gisborne is plentiful, giving you a choice of options; luxury villas, exclusive hideaways, hotels, self-catering motels and lodges (some with a restaurant), holiday parks with tourist flats, budget accommodation in cabins, campervan and campsites. Seasonal discounts may apply, pet friendly accommodation is available in Gisborne by arrangement.
