Welcome to Gisborne’s  city centre – the hub of our community

There’s an undeniable charm to Gisborne’s main street and retail hub. Wide, palm-lined, paved footpaths nestle against turn of the century Edwardian buildings while, delighted shoppers stroll from store to store, stopping to gossip with whanau and friends along the way.

Those with great food on their minds are also spoilt for choice. Gisborne’s delicious array of city centre cafes and restaurants may surprise the uninitiated… there’s plenty of great food, great coffee and great service.

Retail and Hospitality is underpinned by a strong professional services sector. Our city centre professional community boasts many leaders in their field – award winning professionals proud to supply the region with outstanding service and advice.

Events in the city centre are numerous and add something special to a visitor’s experience of the city. These unique, sometimes unexpected community events, combined with great shopping and dining experiences, underpin Gisborne’s burgeoning reputation as a national treasure and the quintessential kiwi holiday destination.
