Out East, from Gisborne to the top of the 35, the swell’s on, the kai’s local, and rush hour lasts five minutes. Tairāwhiti greets the sun with maunga that stand tall and stories that run deep. This isn’t postcard New Zealand - it’s the real thing. Salty sunrises, jandal workdays, winding trails and vineyard vibes - coast time activated. Big beauty, big mana, small-town buzz, and a spirit that stretches all the way to the horizon.

the best of Tairāwhiti Gisborne

From beachside fish & chips in Gisborne to sunrise missions up the maunga - these are the best Tairāwhiti spots we send our mates.
