Gisborne

 

Gisborne combines new and old seamlessly with its centre brimming with boutiques and accessories, restaurants and cafés, wine bars and galleries, bakeries and homeware stores; while the wide streets of mature oaks, heritage buildings and country homesteads speak of a bustling past.

 


gisborne.jpgGisborne has a wealth of open spaces with continuous parklands that hug Jacksons Creek for bike riding or walking. Kids will enjoy the new adventure playground and the modern aquatic centre, or stretch your legs around the town’s Botanic Gardens, distinct from the other formal gardens in the region by its contemporary design and the inclusion of many New Zealand native plants.

Gisborne is the place to replenish supplies before heading deeper into the Macedon Ranges for a tour, a day out or to find your accommodation for the weekend. Sample fresh local produce and award winning wines in the deli’s and cafés that dot the town or drive beyond the town limits to find a selection of goods for sale at farm gates.

Time your visit to coincide with the Gisborne markets which are held on the first Sunday of the month throughout the year, where you will find a fantastic selection of crafts, food and clothing.

Particular highlights of Gisborne and surrounds include a selection of excellent cool climate wineries where you may enjoy a bite to eat while relaxing at a table overlooking vine strung hills. Wood fired pizza is offered at Gisborne Peak Winery on weekends.

The recently re-developed Gisborne Golf Club, with stunning views across the Ranges, offers golfers the opportunity to use every club in the bag, while the streets buzz with vintage cars at the flag-off for the Macedon Ranges Grand Tour.
