We loved the view. Beds are clean and comfortable. Coffee and tea making facilities in the room are adequate for a short stay.

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.

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. 😢
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.

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.
Stayed in a glamping tent last time, returned and stayed in a new pod this time which was cool. Lots of different options. Clean and comfortable. Good facilities. I liked the eco theme, recycling, simple but really nice and luxury feel. Totally switched off from high stress job. Relaxing hearing the ocean. This is one of my favorite places to stay and will keep coming back.
I loved everything about Tudor park chalet. we ended up having mates join us in the chalet and there was so much space for us. everything in the place was all so clean the chalet exceeded our expectations we loved our stay in gisborne thanks to Art & Kim. perfect hosts. lovely place and great exceptional service!! definitely staying there again on our next stay in gisborne.
We made a last minute decision to travel to Gisborne for the night. Easy to book online, easy to find, very grateful that a key was left out for us as we arrived after the 8pm check in time, very clean, comfy beds. We were on the main road heading into Gisborne we a little concerned about the traffic passing, I did not hear a thing. The grounds were beautiful setting.
Location was excellent and very central for what I wanted to do. I went on several walks on the beach and round the river and wharf area.. Unfortunately, the weather was not very good with another storm passing through, However, I would certainly stay again - very enjoyable catching up with all the changes in the area as I had not been back to Gisborne for 19 years.
Hotel was as described. Leigh was very helpful, friendly and informative. The room was spacious and access to the outside garden was easy. everything was clean and the room was bright and airy. Tea and coffee facilities in the kitchenette were appreciated and the full sized fridge a bonus. Check in and out was easy and hassle free.
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
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.
Very nice motel and very good location and with great facilities, spa was amazing after a long drive or after a day of activities, staff even gave the homely feel and even suggested us great places to visit around Gisborne.
This is a very nice waterfront hotel, kitchette was included and the place was modern and the staff are friendly and accomading, there is a pool and a lot of people fish from the close by river channel
Always stay here when in Gisborne, amazing facilities, spa bath, great location, and the staff are great.
Real bonus to have the coffee pod machine as well!
We have seen several New Zealand motels on our road trip so far, and this was definitely one of our favorites. Well maintained and very clean. Recommended!
