Not only is Gisborne the first city in the world to see the sun each day, it also gets over 2,200 hours of it each year. This probably explains why Gisborne contributes 30% of New Zealand’s wine production and why it’s the Chardonnay Capital of New Zealand.
But while agriculture and viticulture have long been mainstays of the local economy, tourism and manufacturing are both making tremendous advances.
Rich with business and employment opportunities, relatively low property costs and first-class educational choices, Gisborne is an excellent location in which to live, work and play.
