    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.

    Sadly economic conditions and the requirements for earthquake improvements has seen a lot of buildings in the CBD close up shops a sad barren appearance. No street performers no music in the air the city council needs to do more to bring the city back to life. High prices on everything makes it even harder for the locals visitors think twice before buying. A shaddow of what it used to be. 😢

    The rooms was so warm and beds so comfortable. The images does not complete the story of this motel. You'd have to experience it. Tudor Park Motel contributes to the beauty of Gisborne. The staff are friendly. I am beyond words of thankfulness for the service and the comfort and cleanliness Tudor Park Motel provides. This service provided and Tudor Park Motel clean comfortable facilities is highly recommended and luxurious rooms/units is worth every penny spent and very affordable. Highly recommended. Five star all the way

    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.

    Everything. I work for Fire and Emergency so I have stayed in many hotels across NZ and even though I live in Gisborne, I dont mind staying a couple of nights a year in the best hotel in NZ in my opinion. Clean, tidy, friendly hosts, comfortable big bed, and most importantly the spa pool 👍 will definitely continue to book at least a couple of nights a year to treat my wife and I to a night out. Thank you very much 😊

    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!

    The location was the best - although when we stayed very few people about so probably bit of a luxury. Did some little day trips around area but loved coming back and just relaxing at the end of day - as room had everything we needed was brilliant not having to go out for dinner and just staying put and enjoying our wee spot.

    We are local and this was our first stay at the Emerald Hotel. We really enjoyed the spa and pool facilities .The pool could do with a bit of maintanence as their were tiles hanging off. Loved the view from the Executive room with river view.
