Actually stayed four nights, and the 5 days were a great winding down for us. We could walk everywhere, swim at the beach, buy a cake or ice cream at the dairy by the camp.

Beautiful setup , very private and peaceful with a beautiful view over vineyards and fruit orchards.
Very tidy, clean and comfortable and the spa was nice and warm.
Easy drive to get to Gisborne town and Eastwood hill park.
We had a very relaxing time as a couple but the whole set up is as well ideal for a 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...
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.
Property has one of the most beautiful views in Gisborne.
Very Relaxing and peaceful environment .
This house is in a stunning location, with mountains and sea views. The furniture is beautiful, and it's just a short 15-minute drive from the town centre. It's a peaceful and relaxing place to stay, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty and comfort. Whether you're looking to unwind or explore the surrounding area, this house provides an ideal retreat.
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.
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 ⛱️
Super helpful at very last minute as I was out of a hotel suddenly as the one I was supposed to stay at cancelled the evening of my arrival. Oasis had a wedding tht weekend and allowed us to stay despite having blocked off some rooms which was really, really appreciated.
Really enjoyed our stay. Quiet despite being busy and packed. The facilities were awesome, clean and tidy with so much space to unwind. Hubby enjoyed the shower so much, definitely something we needed after a long few days,will definitely be back when in Gisborne
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🙏
Fantastic presentation and a lovely breakfast included. This was the cheapest accommodation and certainly the best I have had in Gisborne. Two Palms get a 5 star rating in my book.
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.
Great location to Central Gisborne. Friendly staff, nice comfortable room. Bed was super comfy with beautiful linen. Swimming pool and water view was great. Easy parking.
