The accommodation was so beautiful and comfortable. Staying right in the vineyard was such a treat and the wine tasting was fabulous!

Full of character with many 19th c buildings still surviving. Lovely beaches east and west with excellent access. Strong Maori influence including Cook's landing interpretations. City easy to access, with outrageous parking charges made until midnight on Saturday night! With accommodation, restaurant, gifts, and fuel costs spent amounting to NZ$2000 over three nights of our stay... give us a break

There are better places to visit that are much less difficult to travel to than Gisborne, we went because we had never been before so it was good to see the place but wouldn’t go to the trouble to go back.
Roadworks from Napier to Gisborne were many with many stoppages. Long slow winding road. Gisborne to Whakatane however was a very pleasant very scenic drive starting off with Gisborne's horticulture then farmland then through a native forested river gorge. Gisborne's main retail strip looks great and is well laid out, the palm trees set it off so well on a sunny day. The famous Eastwoodhill Arboretum was a bit of a let down, it was a big reason we finally decided to add Gisborne to our trip however it didn’t live up to the online pictures and information we saw of it. Basically it’s just hilly farmland heavily planted out sporadically with various trees and riddled with many tracks colour coded but good luck trying to completely follow a particular track as some markers weren’t there at various intersections. It’s nice for a bit of a hilly tree walk but there is nothing particularly organised or grand about the plantings that looks anything like you see of tree plantings in various Botanical Gardens.

My first time visit to gisborne. Town centre is not big, but it was interesting. I enjoyed the botanical gardens and small museum during my visit. My visit was the middle of winter, but still enjoyable.

I found the Cook Landing Reserve to be underwhelming, It was disappointing in that there was not much about Captain Cook at the site, just gourds.
The Gisborne Museum was worth a visit.
The beaches would have been lovely if not for cyclone Hale.

On arrival greeted by cute dog, reception staff lovely, The bed was amazing so comfortable and a good size.
Walk in shower awesome.
Good lighting room temp perfect.
Very spacious room.
No noise was nice and quiet.
Outdoor setting private very nice.
Parking right out front easily accessible from room to vehicle.
Loved the location. 🙂
Loved the room, especially the spa bath. We travelled from Rotorua, returning to Tolaga Bay after a fun-filled weekend, and decided to stay the night in Gisborne, as the trip was long and we began our journey late that afternoon, The break in our trip was a great idea and gave us the rest that we needed. The spa bath was amazing, nice and relaxing, just what we needed. The bed was comfortable, and I loved the pillows. The staff were very lovely, thank you and we will definitely stay again.
The space and facilities available were easy and accessible. I was very close to where I needed to get my daughter to for her competition. Staff were all amazing. Keep doing a great job wāhine mā! Greeted with a smile and acknowledged in te reo when I greeted in te reo Māori followed by great service from the cleaning crew with a warm welcoming farewell smile when informed of something minor was broken. Ngā mihi maioha kia koutou Waikanae Top 10 Holiday Park.
Lovely host. Super friendly and helpful. Able to borrow their spare car at an extra fee which made the trip easier. Nice little spread of breakfast items available complimentary. Lovely porch and good off street parking space outside the house. Free wifi. Streaming sites available on TV (Netflix and Disney plus). Able to do airport pick up and drop offs. Great Gisborne recommendations provided. Overall a great stay!
I really enjoyed my stay at this location...........within minutes Tarquin, Lincoln and Crystal (the management team) made me feel like family, They did a great job of tucking away my bike, showing me around the facility, spending time with me teaching me about kitchen use, open area use and enjoyable things to do around Gisborne.........we will remain lifelong friends after this visit.
Rooms were clean and functional. Homely with kitchenette and bathroom ensuite. Room service done during our stay was perfect. Didn't feel intrusive at all, as it sometimes can, but was definately serviced with fresh towels etc. Requested views if possible as had never seen gisborne before and Boom! Management made it happen!! Gisborne is beautiful and we will stay again.
Have always booked at Captain Cook out of any motor lodge in Gisborne this place has been the go to for me and all my family that I have brought along on my journey to Gisborne and by far is the best place to stay the staff are so lovely here 💛💚💛 and is close to town and the beach ⛱️
Loved this place. Loved the history of the building. Tony was a great entertaining, accommodating, and hospital host who made me a fantastic breakfast and gave me great advice about visiting Gisborne. I also enjoyed meeting the other guests and the bed was super comfortable.
Clean and roomy with all the basics. Great budget family hotel. Close to the beach but it had a pool too. Small onsite shop at Reception if you needed something. Breakfast available. Large bathroom with walk-in shower. Easy parking. Approachable staff.
Wonderful apartment, comfy bed and had everything you could want. Great location too. Would definitely stay here again when in Gisborne. Owners were helpful and friendly in their comms also.
Ease of access to the town meant that we could walk from property. We loved the comfortable room, and sitting room. The owners were very helpful and knowledgeable about the Gisborne area.
