Alternatively they go for a tranquil walk around one or more of the 15 lakes in and around Rotorua. In the evening the Maori Cultural Shows are very popular as they entertain, educate and feed you – enough tasty food for even the hungriest of people; and catering for vegetarians too. </span>

Experience an unforgettable journey into New Zealand, then and now.</span>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; text-align: -webkit-left;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; text-align: -webkit-left;">Wine Tours </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.gisbornewine.co.nz/assets/Banners/_resampled/croppedimage950340-Gisborne-Wine-12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="141" src="http://www.gisbornewine.co.nz/assets/Banners/_resampled/croppedimage950340-Gisborne-Wine-12.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The East Coast is an area of remarkable natural beauty. From the moment the sun rises over our pristine coastlines to the time it descends across the Poverty Bay plains, there is much to be seen and enjoyed within the Gisborne wine region.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Gisborne Wine Tours have been developed to showcase the incredible wines, winemakers, vineyards and cellar doors that make our wine region so unique.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; text-align: -webkit-left;"><br /></span><br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<img border="0" height="293" src="http://www.gisbornenz.co.nz/restaurant/lake%20waikaremoana.jpg" width="435" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The Lake Waikaremoana Track takes four days/three nights to tramp and huts should be booked in advance.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">For those with less time to spare, there's a wide range of shorter hikes to choose from - or you can try your hand at trout fishing or kayaking.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Holiday parks provide comfortable accommodation: there's the Lake Waikaremoana Holiday Park on the lake edge which offers chalets, cabins and a camping ground, and Big Bush Holiday Park which also has a café on-site.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">For up-to-date information on the lake and the history of the park, don't miss the Department of Conservation's Aniwaniwa Information Centre. Here you will learn all about the mysterious locals, commonly known as "the children of the mist".</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: -webkit-left;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Gisborne is the first city in the world to see the sun rise each day, and popular Wainui Beach provides a perfect spot from which to watch the sky slowly change as the sun bursts from the sea.</span><br />
<img border="0" height="319" src="http://www.gisbornenz.co.nz/restaurant/mahia_nz_sunrise.jpg" width="424" /><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Then it's on to the vineyards, for Gisborne is dubbed the Chardonnay Capital of New Zealand - and for good reason. It boasts the largest area of Chardonnay vineyards and is the third largest grape-growing region in the country.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Although better known for its Chardonnay, the city is also earning recognition for its other varietals including Gewürztraminer, Viognier and Chenin Blanc – to name a few.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Grab a wine trail map and visit any of its vineyards and boutique wineries, or for a complete wine and food experience, take part in Wine Week when the International Chardonnay Challenge and the Gisborne Wine and Food Festival are celebrated.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Enjoy the International Chardonnay Challenge's Italian Long Lunch or groove to live entertainment and sample local food and wine at the Gisborne Wine and Food Festival.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Public buses provide safe transport between venues and make it easy to sit back, relax and enjoy a glass of Gisborne Chardonnay in the "Chardonnay Capital" of New Zealand.</span><br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Word is spreading amongst Gisborne Brides about Jayson’s natural style and clients rave about his photographs, "We were so impressed with your work Jayson! What a talented young man, with the brightest future to come. We both aren't necessarily fans of the camera, but you made us feel at ease, and you captured some amazing photographs.”</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br />

<br />
The gold medal won collectively for the band’s adjudicated performance, under the baton of Wellington musical director Alex Nyman, was not the only prize the young musicians brought home.<br />
<br />
Soloist Lauren Grout and an ensemble featuring Sarah Martin, Lauren Ford and Emily Grout also won golds.<br />
<br />
Chloe Lawrence and Nadia Stander received silver awards for their solos, and silvers also went to two other ensembles made up of a saxophone quartet (Lauren Ford, Emily Grout, Kim Thompson and Nicole Stannard) and a flute trio (Lauren Grout, Tayla Coburn and Emily St John).<br />
<br />
The golds awarded to the Gisborne group were three of 11 presented to the 36 New Zealand bands, and one from Australia, that competed at the annual festival.</span><br />

He named a visible Gisborne landmark after midshipman Nicholas Young, a lad who was the first to sight New Zealand from the masthead of the "Endeavour". Cook then went to Gisborne and made the first interaction with the Maori. This historic meeting between the two cultures was the start of modern New Zealand.</span></p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;">"<span style="font-style: italic;">The descendants of Ngati One One (the Maori people) who met Cook that day still maintain Te Poho O Rawiri Marae (the meeting house) at the base of Titirangi Hill, approximately 1km from Port Gisborne where the ship will berth. Te Poho O Rawiri has over the years welcomed many famous dignitaries including Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Phillip, Prince Charles and Princess Diana among others."</span></span></p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;">Cruise ship's would be met by several Waka (Maori canoes), then one of New Zealand's top Kapa Haka (cultural) groups would welcome passengers as the ship docks.

That's why Gisborne is one of the most self-sufficient towns in New Zealand. It supports a large area. Price of property is similar to <a href="http://wanganuionline.com">Wanganui</a>. However, <a href="http://nzproperty.sheldonthinks.com">Wanganui lifestyle properties</a> are more expensive, due to the latter's proximity to Wellington.<br /><br />Nevertheless, Gisborne has its own charm. It has a long, palm lined main street and a booming central business district. It has very well established homes and communities.<br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&source=hp&q=gisborne+new+zealand&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Gisborne,+New+Zealand&ei=Qk-XS73CNoGOkQWkjviLAQ&ved=0CAwQ8gEwAA&z=14&ll=-38.666381,178.025949&output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&source=embed&q=gisborne+new+zealand&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Gisborne,+New+Zealand&ei=Qk-XS73CNoGOkQWkjviLAQ&ved=0CAwQ8gEwAA&z=14&ll=-38.666381,178.025949" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
