Comfortable and homely stay. Amenities were excellent and the rooms were the perfect size for a two couple group or young family.
The river view, wharf view in the evening was gorgeous.
The river view, wharf view in the evening was gorgeous. The walkway and boardwalk are a desirable, peaceful place to walk. The beach was the highlight of our visit as well as the farmers market. We preferred the beautiful fresh food from the farmers market opposed to take aways and restaurants we've dined at previously. We ate at a variety of cafes, restaurants and take aways. Without naming them we'll definitely be buying fresh produce and using the BBQ provided at our motel or available at Midway beach to cook our own steak served with fresh local produce, including fine wine, bread and honey. It's easy to get around Gisborne, but be aware of hazardous drivers and pedestrians. On our next visit we will avoid over spending trying to source excitable and palatable cuisine including takeaways.

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.
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.

The service is not good enough for one night stay...we ask for milk for cup of tea in the evening but the receptionist said, the housekeeper is going to bring for us...waiting for the evening no one is turned up even in the morning when we left...
I love the location. I'm from gisborne and have always loved the beach I have so many memories at this beach and I loved nothing more than waking up to the beach every morning. The room was well cleaned and was cleaned while we were out for the day. The service was exceptional and any problems we had were solved right away. Definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a nice spot.
I had such a wonderful visit to Gisborne, and the location of the Gisborne Dream family suite is fantastic! I hired a bicycle from nearby Cycle Gisborne and visited vineyards, wineries, the cidery, op shops, and beaches. I appreciated the eco-friendly cleaning products. The bed was
The location is nice and peaceful - somewhat isolated but close to a lovely cellar door (Wright's) and about 15 minutes from the centre of Gisborne by car. All the basic facilities were there for a comfortable few nights and the accommodation is very spacious for two people..
Extremely comfortable place to stay. Bedroom, bathroom, living room and full kitchen. Alan and David are lovely hosts, and David provided delicious home-baked treats each day. Definitely felt "at home". Downtown Gisborne is a quick drive away, or a pleasant 15 minute walk.
The friendliness of the owner, when we arrived I asked where would be a good place to have dinner he mentioned a couple of restaurants but later I found he had printed off all the great places with addresses where we could get a great meal, great service.
Very comfortable to stay, Safe and clean room for family, And its was beautiful view. I recommend 10/10 because of their service, and their staff are so lovely. Thank u Top10 Gisborne for your hospitality 🥰
GOD BLESS🙏
Perfect place to stay in Gisborne, close to shops and the beach. Tidy and clean unit with good aircon, smart tv in lounge and in room. Bed was comfortable and have a personal carpark right outside your door.
I loved that they gave 2 complimentary water bottles an 2 packs of cookies in the coffee bar in all my hotel stays that was the first time I’ve come across that big thumbs up from me an my little family
Lovely little place just around the corner from the CBD of Gisborne. Walked to the Harbour most evenings for dinner where there were plenty of choices. Place was clean and tidy.
A well-appointed room with good self-catering facilities. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Perfect for a short or longer stay in the Gisborne area.
