From Wikitravel

Gisborne is a sunny seaside town on the East Coast of the North Island of New Zealand. It is a popular summertime destination as it has a relatively warm, dry and sunny climate, swimming and surf beaches with a more relaxed pace of life than the larger cities. It is the first city in the world to see the sun each day.

[edit] Get in

Gisborne is a good day's drive from either Auckland or Wellington or half a day from Rotorua or Napier, perhaps longer depending on the route you take. There are frequent flights from Auckland (1 hour) and Wellington (1 hour) on Air New Zealand.

[edit] Get around

Gisborne is a long town, as it has spread out along the main road into town. A car is advisable, though if you are going to the beach, walking is a good idea, as parking in the central city is often a problem.

As the central business district is quite small once in centrally based accommodation it is easy to get around.
