Guidebook for Gisborne
Drinks & Nightlife
You may have a fairly nonplussed view of a franchise restaurant. Well, ‘The Loney’ has a particular Gizzy vibe. The food is plentiful & consistent. A popular place to head for a few drinks in a most excellent bar overlooking the inner harbour.

The Dome Cinema & Bar is a clutter of yesteryear antiquities, mood lighting and a cool laid-back Gizzy vibe. Great venue for a lazy cocktail, stay-on for a meal or attend a movie sitting

Going 'up the coast' is a favourite Gizzy thing to do. Get a taste of Coastie-Life by taking the 45 min drive to Tolaga Bay. Walk along the iconic 660 metre long Tolaga Bay Wharf & dangle a fishing line. Stop-off for a coffee & refreshments at the classic Tolaga Bay Inn

Arts & Culture
Tairāwhiti Museum
10 Stout StI reckon it's worth a crack!
This is quite different to your usual stuffy museum. A currated array of random junk from a bygone era can be viewed with little barriers between you. Definately worth a look.

Entertainment & Activities
When was the last time you went to the movies?
My go-to is the rock-hard chocolate-dipped ice cream and bucket of popcorn to accompany the big screen.
