Wainui Beach is 6 kilometres from Gisborne city center, heading north on State
Highway 35, also known as "The Pacific Coast Highway" ... one of the Pacific's
most scenic coastal road journeys.

Gisborne is the main city of the Eastland Region (pop 45,000),
a vast triangle on the North Island's eastern seaboard which includes
the Eastern Bay of Plenty, the East Cape, Gisborne, Mahia Peninsula,
Lake Waikaremoana and Te Urewera National Park.

Gisborne is renowned for its warm, sunny weather ... most years
boasting the highest annual sunshine hours in the
country. An average 65 days each year have a maximum
temperature over 24 degrees Celcius!

We are famous for our beaches, surfing, fishing ... and wine!
They call Gisborne the Chardonnay Capital of
New Zealand, and even here at Wainui we have an
award-winning boutique winery ... Amor Bendall.

Gisborne has always been known as a fabulous beach holiday
destination ... the archetypical summer vacation destination.

But hey, the winters aren't so bad either. If its been raining
for weeks in Auckland, Hamilton and Tauranga ... its usually sunny in Gisborne.

We're 50 minutes by Air New Zealand from both Auckland and Wellington,
and around 6-7 hours by car ... a great road trip
and a scenic adventure either way.
