Places To Visit In Gisborne

Rere Falls

The Rere falls on the Wharekopae river, a waterfall measuring just 5-metre height and about 20 metres or 66 feet wide. It is charming, and this waterfall has a picturesque surrounding of farmland. It is a large picnic spot and a small beautiful swimming hole nearby. It is trendy among visitors over the summers. One can walk behind the waters on slippery rocks but should do so with the utmost care as the wet rocks will be slippery.

Just north of Gisborne is one of nature's most amusing phenomena - The Rere Rockslide, also called Nature's Slip and slide. It is a naturally-occurring water slide occurring naturally. It is a result of the river's natural flow over the rocks beneath it. The Rere Rockslide is a gift of nature for adventurous people and is sure to set the pulses of adventure-seekers. This rockslide is a flat slab of Rock about 60m or 200 ft long. It is a smooth and mossy rock formation with the water of the Wharekopae River acting as a lubricant. The Rock descends at an angle of 30°, over which river water rushes like water in a giant water slide. Over the centuries, the water of the flowing river has smoothened the Rock so much that it has been made safe to slide down the Rock. Read More

Gisborne is famous for wine, delicious food and, most importantly, surf beaches. With nearly 3500 kilometres of coastline, surfing in Gisborne is something one wouldn’t want to miss. The first city in the world to greet the sun every morning is Gisborne; hence, surfing early in the morning will be an unforgettable experience. The East Coast area is said to have the most consistent surf in New Zealand. The level of surfing in Gisborne is relatively high, so you will have to practice a little to get your waves, but once you get it right, you will enjoy them. Many pro surfers like Allan Byrne, Maz Quinn and Ricardo Christie have come out of this area over the years. As there are a lot of places to surf, Gisborne surf spots are not usually crowded most of the time, but when it is good or on warm sunny weekends, and the waves are perfect for surfing, it tends to get a little crowded.

The Tairawhiti Museum is widely famous for its innovativeness and creative content, a local, regional museum with strong ties to New Zealand history. Located ahead of the CBD, across the Peel Street Bridge, the museum is innately patriotic and guarantees you the raw, local and indigenous feel of the place. It is culturally informative and is a go-to place if you are touring New Zealand with your family and kids. The museum has developed itself in multiple folds, infrastructure-wise and representation-wise. Nevertheless, it stands solid and loud in bearing the historical mouthpiece of the locals and NZ. The museum is famous for its art exhibition, a remarkably monumental cottage, and a ship. The entry fee is NZD 5 for adults and free of cost for the locals and children below the age of 12. A valid ID might be required for entry. There is an available parking space across Stout street. Read More
