Lee is a very friendly host. Villa Shemshi is remotely situated on a farm and is lovely and quiet. My room was well supplied with everything I needed.
The river view, wharf view in the evening was gorgeous.
The river view, wharf view in the evening was gorgeous. The walkway and boardwalk are a desirable, peaceful place to walk. The beach was the highlight of our visit as well as the farmers market. We preferred the beautiful fresh food from the farmers market opposed to take aways and restaurants we've dined at previously. We ate at a variety of cafes, restaurants and take aways. Without naming them we'll definitely be buying fresh produce and using the BBQ provided at our motel or available at Midway beach to cook our own steak served with fresh local produce, including fine wine, bread and honey. It's easy to get around Gisborne, but be aware of hazardous drivers and pedestrians. On our next visit we will avoid over spending trying to source excitable and palatable cuisine including takeaways.

Full of character with many 19th c buildings still surviving. Lovely beaches east and west with excellent access. Strong Maori influence including Cook's landing interpretations. City easy to access, with outrageous parking charges made until midnight on Saturday night! With accommodation, restaurant, gifts, and fuel costs spent amounting to NZ$2000 over three nights of our stay... give us a break

There are better places to visit that are much less difficult to travel to than Gisborne, we went because we had never been before so it was good to see the place but wouldn’t go to the trouble to go back.
Roadworks from Napier to Gisborne were many with many stoppages. Long slow winding road. Gisborne to Whakatane however was a very pleasant very scenic drive starting off with Gisborne's horticulture then farmland then through a native forested river gorge. Gisborne's main retail strip looks great and is well laid out, the palm trees set it off so well on a sunny day. The famous Eastwoodhill Arboretum was a bit of a let down, it was a big reason we finally decided to add Gisborne to our trip however it didn’t live up to the online pictures and information we saw of it. Basically it’s just hilly farmland heavily planted out sporadically with various trees and riddled with many tracks colour coded but good luck trying to completely follow a particular track as some markers weren’t there at various intersections. It’s nice for a bit of a hilly tree walk but there is nothing particularly organised or grand about the plantings that looks anything like you see of tree plantings in various Botanical Gardens.

My first time visit to gisborne. Town centre is not big, but it was interesting. I enjoyed the botanical gardens and small museum during my visit. My visit was the middle of winter, but still enjoyable.

I found the Cook Landing Reserve to be underwhelming, It was disappointing in that there was not much about Captain Cook at the site, just gourds.
The Gisborne Museum was worth a visit.
The beaches would have been lovely if not for cyclone Hale.

The service is not good enough for one night stay...we ask for milk for cup of tea in the evening but the receptionist said, the housekeeper is going to bring for us...waiting for the evening no one is turned up even in the morning when we left...
Good breakfast with sufficient supplies. Great location very close to the city and most of the attractions/restaurants etc.
Very friendly hosts Herman and Nadene. Their recommendations helped us greatly to quickly jump on exploring attractions in Gisborne easily. We stayed 3 nights and feel could spend easily up to 4 to 5 nights in Gisborne as there are plenty of places to visit from good beaches, rivers, parks, walks, museum etc.
The white Heron absolutely exceeded my expectations in terms of customer service, cleanliness, comfort, aesthetic, value for money and amenities. This is my third booking at the white Heron and after having stayed at every quality accommodation facility in Gisborne there is absolutely nowhere else I would rather stay.
Great location -- short walk to center of town and city beach. Room/bathroom very comfortable, well equipped and very clean. Bed was sooooo comfortable. Owner/Host very knowledgeable, friendly with helpful advice. I highly recommend and would be my choice of where to stay in Gisborne.
I had such a wonderful visit to Gisborne, and the location of the Gisborne Dream family suite is fantastic! I hired a bicycle from nearby Cycle Gisborne and visited vineyards, wineries, the cidery, op shops, and beaches. I appreciated the eco-friendly cleaning products. The bed was
From our first step into the hotel we loved it , the patio views with our breakfast was amazing and the cleanliness of our room was exceptional, new towels and whatever else we needed freshly done every morning, thank yous so very much for the beautiful stay
This is a very nice waterfront hotel, kitchette was included and the place was modern and the staff are friendly and accomading, there is a pool and a lot of people fish from the close by river channel
Ease of access to the town meant that we could walk from property. We loved the comfortable room, and sitting room. The owners were very helpful and knowledgeable about the Gisborne area.
Fantastic presentation and a lovely breakfast included. This was the cheapest accommodation and certainly the best I have had in Gisborne. Two Palms get a 5 star rating in my book.
Lovely little place just around the corner from the CBD of Gisborne. Walked to the Harbour most evenings for dinner where there were plenty of choices. Place was clean and tidy.
