About the Eastland Region

Lying in the south-west Pacific, New Zealand consists of two main islands—the North Island and the South Island. In addition, Stewart Island and many smaller islands lie offshore.

The North Island has a spine of mountain ranges running through the middle, with gentle rolling farmland on both sides. The central North Island is dominated by the Volcanic Plateau, an active volcanic and thermal area.

The massive Southern Alps form the backbone of the South Island. To the east of the Southern Alps is the rolling farmland of Otago and Southland, and the vast, flat Canterbury Plains.

Eastland reaches out to the Pacific Ocean, located on the sunny East Coast of the North Island and is the first mainland place in the world to see the sun each day.

There are many interesting and beautiful walks within the region, but one of the most stunning areas for hiking and trekking is in the Te Urewera National Park, the third largest national park and the largest untouched native forest in New Zealand.

Main centres in Eastland:

• Gisborne—one of the sunniest cities in New Zealand
• Opotiki—gateway to a natural wonderland
• Wairoa—gateway to the Urewera National Park
• Mahia—a coastal getaway

Highlights of Gisborne

In contrast with the splendid seclusion of the forested hinterland, Gisborne is a city where you can indulge in gourmet dining and wine tasting.

You'll find the Southern Hemisphere's first commercially grown black truffles, the finest cheeses and Chardonnay to die for.

Gisborne's white sand surf beaches attract surfers from all over the world. Captain Cook was the first, his ship Endeavour surfed into Kaiti Beach in 1769.

Gisborne is home to around 45,000 people and is the main centre of the Eastland Region. With warm summers and mild winters this beautiful seaside destination generally bathes in plentiful sunshine.

Visitors to Gisborne can enjoy the relaxed and easy-going ambience of the city or explore the many and varied attractions, including renowned surfing breaks, perfect swimming beaches, some of the best fly-fishing rivers in New Zealand and miles of untouched coastline. Also known as the "Chardonnay Capital" of New Zealand, Gisborne is home to countless award wining wineries.

Serviced daily by bus and air connections, Gisborne also provides the perfect base from which to explore some of New Zealand's great treasures, including Mt Hikurangi, The Pacific Coast Highway, Eastwood Hill Aboretum, Lake Waikarimoana, and Mahia Peninsula.
