Living In GISBORNE New Zealand 🇳🇿 Top Things To Do Tairawhiti East Coast NZ | 197 Countries, 3 Kids

- Hi everyone,
Join us on a tour around Gisborne, the first place where Captain James Cook set foot in New Zealand.
Another thing Gisborne is famous for is being the first City (there are smaller places further east) to see the first sun rays every morning.
While in Gisborne, we stayed at a beautiful house that belonged to the mother of Chantal’s friend from Canada. What we really loved most about it was the spacious, fully-equipped kitchen because we love preparing our own meals
If you’ve seen our previous videos, you know that our girls are excellent cooks, and if you haven’t, this video will definitely make it obvious because we did cook some yummy meals such as tofu curry, veggie wraps, eggs benedict, banana bread and much more!
On day one, we decided to take a walk to downtown Gisborne and get a better sense of the area. We walked up to the waterfront to check out Gisborne port and the statues of James Cook and his cabin boy “Young Nick” who was actually the first one to spot the New Zealand coast in the distance.
Another famous Gisborne location is Titirangi, Kaiti Hill. We drove up to the top (even though you can also take a hike) to have a picnic and enjoy one of the best views of the area.
Along the way, we kinda lost Tyler, who actually went further up to take a beautiful panoramic video. It took us a while to regroup, but, as you know, we love a good workout in nature. Exercise is exactly why locals love climbing up Titirangi, Kaiti Hill too.
Gisborne also had a great iSITE information desk that Chantal and Julia visited to learn more about what would be fun to see and do in the area. They also found a small European-style café to enjoy a nice cup of coffee by the waterfront.
On Saturday we visited the farmers market, which happens every weekend, and bought some locally-grown produce and cheese that ended up on our table for lunch. After a healthy meal, we tasted some not-so-healthy Kiwi lollies (candy) like pineapple lumps, you all suggested we should try.
In need of some more ingredients, Chantal and Chloe went to the store, and Chloe walked barefoot in a public place for the first time! We were definitely becoming Kiwis!
Gisborne is also one of the best places to go surfing in New Zealand, so we couldn’t miss checking out the surfers gliding across the ocean at Okitu Beach.
Another must-see location in Gisborne is the Eastwoodhill Arboretum (tree garden). We went on a buggy tour around the place learning about its history, the founder, the trees and how they ended up in the park, and even how they were planted.
We also witnessed an interesting phenomenon known as “crown shyness” observed in some tree species whose crowns don’t touch when fully stocked.
We loved spending time in Eastwoodhill Arboretum. It was a fun and educational activity at a very reasonable price.
With another week to go, we still had plenty of things to see and do. Join us in part 2 for an epic adventure with stingrays at Dive Tatapouri, sheep shearing near the Mahia rocket launch complex, and more!
So, what do you think of Gisborne so far? Would you ever visit this beautiful coastal city?

Awesome!
I was born & grew up in Gisborne 60 years ago l left Gisborne in 1983 & have only been back 3 times in 40 years last time I went back was 25 years ago wow watching this video of my home town Gisborne has changed a lot from what I remember how it was.
it’s so random seeing my home town pop up on youtube! hope you enjoy your stay xxx
That’s funny that it pops up for you. We loved our time there. Hope you enjoy some of other videos too.
The first European to come to our shores was a Dutchman named Abel Tasman in 1642 Captain Cook never discovered NZ there were already people here.
You’re right and of course there were people here before Captain Cook arrived.
Abel Tasman did not set foot on these lands but cook did, but yes correct Abel Tasman was the first out of all Europeans to well...view aotearoa
Abel Tasman was also the first to mention it was inhabited.
I love seeing our town through the eyes of others. Makes you appreciate the small things. Love the vid fam!
Oh cool your in Tairawhiti 👍🏽 see you in the morning whanau 😁
Yes!! See you in the morning Meg! Actually I should clarify, we were in Tairawhiti but it was a while back.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders It's algud whanau 👍🏽 I still enjoyed your video 😁 have a good day and be safe on your travels, we're getting really bad weather here in the Eastern Bay Of Plenty right now 🌬️🌀🌧️
Lovely the girls are enjoying. Love the way Cloe gobbled that up nacho
Good to see you guys here in gisborne. Beautiful part of New Zealand. I think you could visit Tolaga bay wharf and Rere falls . Best in gisborne.
Thank you 😊
Cool video did you know Gisborne is the first town to see the sun in the world
Amazing right?!? First city in the world to see the sunrise.
You have such a lovely family & must be very proud of your daughters . They are so clever & bright, gaining a world of knowledge whilst enjoying their young lives. All the best to you.
Wow at the start you were so close to my house! It’s a great town. Driving around NZ in a cool as Holden. And all the food you got from the store was very kiwi. Now that’s awesome. I hope you were treated well. Great vid.
Came across your vlog accidentally. I grew up in this Town so its amazing to see it again. I left when I was 17 yrs old and have been back a few times since to visit family etc. Its nice to see it again especially after the covid travel bans, thanks for posting this!...hope you enjoy the rest of your travels!
Thanks! Glad you found our channel and I hope you enjoy many more of our videos! We have a Gisborne part 2 coming out soon. 🙌
What a handy insight! I'm a Kiwi but going there for the first time tomorrow!
i lived in gisbourne for two and a half years ,cool
Nice! It’s beautiful!
I'm stoked that you guys came back to Gizzy again. But we dont generally have hot days and cold evenings except Spring and Autumn. It is very true that we all know each other - and I cant believe you walked right by my workplace without me seeing you!! The road north/south of Gisborne is windy, this is why we are still such a best kept secret! Lol! It is quite a scenic drive though, so definitely worth the corners. There is still a lot that Gisborne has to offer that you haven't seen, ask the locals what their favourite thing to do in Gisborne is :)
That’s amazing that we walked right past your workplace. This was a while back though that’s why. It was still cold because it was August! 😂😂We have 1 more Gizzy video coming out. 🙌
Really enjoyed this --- the girls are so hilarious. And it's interesting (and sad ) to see Gisbourne area pre Cyclone Gabrielle
Where you all are walking along the river is right outside my work hahahaha. Seen you all sit down by the WI Pere statue.... I moved home 2020.
You all really look like you happy about the move 😁😁😁 so much fun
awesome video guys! you guys should do your own cooking show where you try and cook some of the foods you've eaten around your visits in different countries
Glad you enjoyed it. We love to make home cooked meals so this would be fun and good to launch our new cookbook too!
Also we don’t all know each other here, it’s just custom to say hi to everyone and be polite to everyone even if you don’t know them. So if you’re walking down the street and you see someone you just say hi, or ask how there day is etc…
I love that about small towns. 🤩
This looks so much like where I live in Northern California (about 30 miles northwest of San Francisco; a small town called Benicia). All the towns in my area... Petaluma, Napa, Sonoma, Novato, San Rafael look very similar.
Sounds amazing!
Always eagerly waiting until you guys upload the video 💞💞❤️❤️❤️💗💗💓💓love you allllllll💖💖💖and miss you all so much😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭
Chloe is the best! She is a born entertainer, needs a channel of her own!! Such a fun creative positive girl!!
She sure is. I’ll let her know what you said. 👍
Kia ora (hello), welcome to Aotearoa (New Zealand, land of the long white cloud). Thank you beautiful whanau (family) so much for sharing your journey, it looked absolutely stunning. Are you willing to share your delicious recipes for your tofu dishes, they looked absolutely delish!
The whole day was throwing up from 9am until 3 pm im glad you did video today i got 3 hours nap thanks for me feel less crappy
Sorry to hear that. I'm hope our video helped you feel a bit better.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders feel better tonight but on high alert as well thanks
Update feeling much better a point of me eating full out breakfast
17:00 Lol, I like the honesty 😄 sometimes things are better the second time you try them.
Yeah 😂😂
Thanks for coming to gizzy
Nice little healthy feast, can't go wrong with chocolate chip banana bread and a tall glass of cold milk. Bob Geldof - I Don't Like Monday's, Cool song. You guys bring the sunshine! 🌞
Unfortunately the meaning behind the song, not so great
@@johnpaki1534 I was just referring to the graffiti that said I don't like Monday's when they were getting food. Wild live 8 concert Bob organized concert and performed that song. Cool song, tragic story indeed. Stay safe!
@@brinkybrinkz algood my friend yes very tragic you stay safe aswell🥰
Love this , miss my home ♥️
Next time you go there , there is a cafe called “The Verve” 👌🏽
Thanks for the recommendation. 🙌
You should watch a wonderful New Zealand movie called Whale Rider, which is set in a small settlement just north of Gisborne
my wifes a kiwi but thats her favourite film growing up
Aww yes! We still haven't seen Whale Rider yet. Thanks for reminding us. We'll watch it before we leave the country for sure!
up on Kaiti Hill, thats my town, I'll be heading back to Gizzy in a month, can't wait
Awesome! Enjoy. It's beautiful!
this is where im from....raised here with loads of memories.great place to live and holiday at.
Ah that's so nice!
Hope yall enjoyed yall spring break
That’s funny you mention spring break since it’s not something we think of all the way over here in New Zealand. They’re going into fall now.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders oh
Hi Donavan um your seasons are ABIT back to front, we have just come out of summer break heading into autumn/fall new Zealand is in the southern hems just to be clear, anyway hope all is well, take care brother😎 TV
Kia ora guys, and don't worry we have trouble finding Tyler aswell🤣, nice video guys, hope all is well much love from whakatane🥰
Kia ora John. Yeah can anyone tell us when you see him? 😂😂 You're probably getting rained on like us atm.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders terrible weather guys, work got rained off which is how I made your prem, movie time I think🥰
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders - was that an image of Tyler flying the drone at 21:31?
The best country in the Southern hemisphere....nice people too...
Aww.. that Eggs Benedict😋
They were the best!
you met my aunty Charlotte (with the moko kauae) lol sweet as! 😎
😂 It's "I died laughing" 🤣 literally my eyeballs watered that was so funny Julia 😂👍🏽...Haiti is where you can view Rocket launches 🚀 my hubby and I stay at Morere hot springs, beautiful hidden peaceful gem with hot pools surrounded by bush and it's only a half hour drive to blacks beach to view Electron 🚀 when they have a launch. I absolutely love Gisborne my favorite place in NZ 🇳🇿 and my favorite breakfast is "Egg's Benedict" yum 😋 Thank you whanau 👍🏽
That's so cool! We didn't make it to see the hot springs in Morere but we did drive by on our way to shear a sheep. You'll see this in the next video. I think Gizzy is one of New Zealand's hidden gems. 🙌🤩
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders Aww I love that you think Gizzy is one of NZ hidden Gems 💎 that's so awesome 🙌🏽 and shearing 🐑 so can't wait to see that 👍🏽.. I forgot to mention, those tree's you were staring up at "now that was beautiful 😍 I must go there 👍🏽...
@@meg7088 isn't edgecumbe a hidden gem🤣🤣sori meg couldn't help myself...lol
@@johnpaki1534 🤣 bloody crack up.. it'll be a hidden gem again if this rain don't let up 😂
@@meg7088 yes I hear you my friend, stuck in kawerau ATM tryn to get back to whakatane, lucky work got rained off, hope all is well where you are🥰
I go to school in Napier from Gisborne and can’t believe they watched a movie on that road. I would get sick for sure!!!
Traveling from Napier to Gisborne you would have passed through a place called Wairoa. That is my place of birth. One thing you won't grow cobwebs with the wind. lol. Loved seeing the city with you. Aroha Kiwi from Virginia Jealous of the Pineapple chunks. So much fun.
Wow long way from Wairoa in Virginia kia ora Janice, its pretty cool watching this family discover nz❤🇳🇿🌈🏝✌
That's amazing Janice. Too bad we didn't film your birth place. We could have should you how it's changed or maybe not. 😂😂
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders The family left the area when I was 6yrs. I grew up in Wellington. I have been back several times over the years.
@@shanefraser7764 A life time Shane
Thank you for visiting Tauranganui-a-Kiwa. We are a little isolated here and have our own small quirks (just as others do around the world). I too have been to the supermarket in my PJ's but I did pull a pair of pants and a jersey on over the top haha. Maori were here first of course (by several hundred years), Abel Tasman was the first European and he partially mapped Aotearoa although never landed here. James Cook arrived later, made a better map and set foot on land right here in Tairawhiti. When he did so, he claimed the country for Great Britain.
Thanks for sharing about Abel Tasman. Funny about the PJ’s and grocery stores. Since then I saw someone wearing a onesie too. 😂😂
hi guys ,🛖🌲🌲nice vlog abt Gisborne , ,,,, wish u all a happy life🌲🌊
Thank you! You too!
Kia ora whanau, welcome to Gizzy.
Thanks!
Exellet Day girl 🌻
Thanks to you as well!
Gizzys the place for Kina and Paua. yum seafood.
Oh interesting.
I enjoyed every second of your videos. Please come again Sri Lanka.
Omg I saw you guys before waking to mitre 10 I live nearby where you were staying I was on berry st
8:36 🤣🤣 This vlog is so much fun
Glad you liked it! Was a fun one 😂😂
❤️
OMG! 🤣 China, made in China. Reminds me of what my father use to say. Look at your baseball cap son, made in China. We were celebrating Canada day one year at my sister's house and he said look, even the Canada flag was made in China. Angelique made me laugh and brought back a memory of my dad.
That’s hilarious. 😂😂 Glad it brought you back nice memories and gave you a good laugh.
Im glad you went to Eastwoodhill, its an exceptional area of the country. Some NZders dont even know of its existence.
Yeah it was beautiful. We couldn’t believe the work they’re doing there.
Kia ora koutou katoa, safe travels
Thanks so much!! 🤩
Zeb.. once U get that scope lowered plus 165 grn bullets. U won't beat that rifle..a killer..kiwi hunter .. great vid Zeb.. cheers.😀👍
hope your enjoying our beauty little but big country 😃
We've seen so many beautiful places and really enjoying it!
you missed so much , wine , beer , food , stingrays , Rere rock slide and falls , the list goes on .
Raglan is our surfing beach, i regret not learning to surf when i was a teenager, my older brother was the surfer, sigh,
thats a Waikato sunrise to sunset trip from Mount Te Aroha, PSST: if you want to renew your wedding vows on that Mountain topic, it would beat out the Bachelor Show.
+ please stop by the gum tree's near Newstead Model Country school, the school should let you have a look around, say Greg from the class of 1968 sent you,
they should have some pics n names,
and Matamata does have hot pools if you do the Hobbit town thing, + horsey riding,
i would save the horse riding for the Auckland experience,
hello girls i am so happy to see you enjoy 🌹🌹🌹
Hi I just stumbled across your videos today, I’m originally from Gisborne Gissy and was so great to see your visit there. Yes gissy people are all chilled and relaxed and live on a go slow lifestyle and our own strange lingo slang language 😂😂 made me laugh that you thought it funny that we like to go around bare foot, even in winter we will put socks on with jandals 😂😂 plus most homes still have open fires to warm the home. I also noticed you never said how us kiwis in gissy love eating fish and chips straight from the paper, no plates or cutlery 😂😂 plus love eating out fish snd chips at the beach. Another food that kiwis love is our hot dogs on a stick, dipped in batter and deep fried then dipped in tomato sauce, yummy. Even though gissy is a city we still call it a town. Did you come across about a million cockroaches in gissy 😂😂 I hate them. I live in Aussie now and often get comments that ai go barefoot a lot. I watched both your gissy videos and a couple of others about cost of living and a live chat about been in gissy. I think it’s so wonderful what your doing as a family your children will be a wealth of knowledge, a life time experience. I will watch more if you NZ videos, just love them. Enjoy your travels.
Thats so awesome! I’m glad you found our channel! We’ll have many more videos coming out time year from NZ so keep your eye out for those too. 🙌🤩
You’re right about the fish and chips too 😂😂
Seems like this footage was taken more than a year ago probably back in 2020. Looking forward to see the next part from your visit to Gizzy.
Yeah this was from way back when we came through after visiting Wellington and Napier for the first time.
the tofu that Angelique cooks
looks appetizing
Yes she did an amazing job making dinner. It was so good!
Hi Julia 😘 from NC 👍
Hello 🤗
i am watching from Auckland.
Awesome!
4:55 whenever someone stops too close to the (and God forbid on the) train tracks it gives me anxiety even when there is no train visible.
2 cool girls "back-to-back" this time..?
Yeah just for the picture 😂
Rubber boots - we call them Gumboots here in Good ole Gizzy :)
Yeah that’s right 😂😂🤩
GIZZY HARD. 😊
Yeeess!
I live down that street you were walking down at the start of the video
That's amazing!
I have not heard many say gisbin. Alot say Gisborne as it is supposed to be. Its a good walk past the ships thankyou for sharing your journey. I live in Gisborne its a good place. Think the population was a bit high? Unless i dont know new figures
Most locals say Gizbin without realising they do. If I told people I live in GisBORNe, they write it down as GisBOURNE. I never knew I said it as Gizbin until I started travelling out of town and people would comment on my pronounciation. (And I'm not one to generally use slang) Yes, population is definitely lower, between 30 - 40,000.
In the summertime all the teenagers and kids gather after school and jump off that train track bridge
Sounds like fun!!
I love you girls.
Thanks Leo!
Could of gone to feed the sting rays too around your feet was another one and having dinner at the fishing club over looking the harbour
Oh yes!! You’ll see the sting rays in our next video 🙌🤩
Being able to go barefoot in many places is why I love Australia and New Zealand.
Yah we love it too, I also find it makes people more relaxed and everyone is more easy going..
🏖🌅❤😎
I love that you take the time to try and pronounce the maori words correctly,
Yeah it makes sense. I have some friends who have been teaching me some words 🙌
😍😍😍😍😍
🙏❤️
"Nebula." NEB-you-luh. Like the astronomical object. Interstellar clouds.
Yes...I guess it's named after that.
The Statue of Wal Footroot and The Dog, at 14:25 is based off the movie Footrot Flats by Murray Ball.
We were wondering what he was all about. Thanks for sharing!
You would of liked the rere falls is gisborne it’s like rock sliding down the water
We saw a picture of that. I’d love to do that next time. Looks amazing!
Im glad you got to see it..... its gone now... Cyclone Gabrielle burried it under meters of silt sludge and drift wood
Sorry I missed the premiere - I was at a party, so I have an excuse.
2:49 - James Cook was, of course, a Yorkshireman.
3:32 - "I don't like Mondays" - there's a very sad story behind that song.
4:06 - The "Gisbun" pronunciation is very much the way it would be said in Northern England.
4L33 - "A long boat" - I was expecting to see Vikings!
That’s a great reason for not being at the premiere. Hope you enjoyed the party! I didn’t know they pronounce things the same in Northern England.
Hey, you said it was in their winter, when was this filmed ? Thanx in advance .-D
This was in the month of August.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders
Great! Thanks for your swift reply :-D Have a good day!
You should have went to the okitu store and said hello to me 😭😌
If we come back again we will for sure!
Gizzy, G town, G city, Turanga nui a kiwa- “TNAK”, Gisborne, Gizbin, ❤️
Cool! So many ways to say it. 😂😂
امروز اولین روز بهار و عید ایرانیان هست تبریک نمیگین عیدمونو😢😅🧡نوروز مبارک😋😊💜
Have you guys visited whanganui yet?
Yes we did. It was a super quick drive through only though.
Have you not heard about Abel Tasman who discovered NZ in 1642, some 127 years before James Cook used his maps to rediscover it sweetie?
Yes she heard. As they said abel tasman did not step on to land Captain cook did. Also yes there were people here before that.
@@tamc936 Several of Abel Tasman's sailors did land but the animals that were already there ate them :o
@@lewtscott3346 LOL!! They also ate the first lot of people that landed here LBH

Your daughter was correct. Those logs are indeed going to China lol
U met my nan and Aunty at the cafe 😂
Oh that’s hilarious!!😂~Chloe
Hi guys how are you now
We’re all good. Thanks for asking.
9:57 60,000?! half of that actually
Oh really? Thanks for sharing. Maybe this is the surrounding area?
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders Gisborne itself which you were overlooking has 37,000 people (including the area past Kaiti Hill), whereas the whole region contains 49,300 :)
Cool! I guess we were quite off. Not sure how that happened. We usually Google it. 🤔😂
The “Lolly” you tried first is called lolly cake, not actual lollies
We’re starting to use so many new words since being here like lollies. Thanks for letting us know the difference between the two 🙌
Borders are the best.
I live in new zealand
You live in a beautiful country!
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders thank you so much yes I Love New Zealand landscapes
Thank you so much I Love New Zealand’s landscapes
go see the real gisborne munro street taruheru cresent beautiful
I don't know if we saw that street. 🤔?
Looks more like a eating contest than a tour not showing much
I forget what this video was about but we definitely love to eat so maybe it was.😂 😂
Great vlog, you ha a sub from me
Thanks so much! 🙏🏻❤️
