This city boasts of being one of the first in the world to watch the sun rise everyday. We all know that the sun rises in the east, right? You can find Gisborne on the east coast of the Eastland region and it's one of the brightest and cheeriest places in the country.
With your rental car you can experience the ultimate summer destination in New Zealand. Gisborne hosts the Rhythm & Vines Festival which is held over three days. A popular place to spend New Years Eve, you may just sit in your rental car and watch the rising of the New Year's sun across the vines while sipping a glass of wine and enjoying some of the world's best rock, blues, roots and dance music over four stages.
Gisborne is the perfect summer escape with some of New Zealand's best surfing beaches with white sand and perfect weather. Take a twilight horse ride and gallop along the beach as the sun sets on another perfect summer's day, there are several trek operators in the region.
