Great reviews! Clean, Comfortable and central!

Kim Rating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We stayed at Pamela's home for a month in April/May. The home was conveniently located for everything we did in Gisborne and was very clean and spacious!! Amanda was helpful with any inquiries we had and graciously provided fresh linens weekly. It was nice to have a tub and large bathroom (no electric outlets took some getting used to for us but learned that is common for safety reasons). Would stay again! Thank you!

Absolute riverfront, close walk to town cafes bars

MichelleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

It was our 2nd stay at Ellie's house and we love it. It is a beautiful property, with a 100% amazing river view. It was great to watch the waka's every morning and evening. Ellie is a great host, left us to it, but was there if we needed her, and I could not recommend her place any higher. If possible, we will re book every time we are in Gisborne

CBD Unit 1 * 2 bedroom apartment

Te RinaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Great value and an excellent location, close to Pak’nSave, Woolworths, petrol stations, and more. The home was clean and well-stocked with essentials like toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, clothes laundry liquid, salt, and pepper. The towels and linen were lovely, and the flat was surprisingly spacious and beautifully presented. Easy to find, with clear communication from the hosts, and a warm, cosy atmosphere throughout. Definitely great for the price — and we absolutely loved the pillows, they were a real highlight of our stay! Would happily book again.

Apartment w/ Pool 600m to CBD!

GeoffRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Great place for a couple of nights. Comfy bed. Right next to wharf, the beach, and riverbank walkway. Walked to Farmers Market on Saturday morning. As mentioned in the comments, there seems to be a bit of angst about AirBnB and the parking situation - a resident we met when we arrived told us: "AirBnB guests can't park onsite." (we didn't park onsite, nor did we even ask anyone).

Peaceful Paradise

SharonRating, 5 stars3 months ago

The unit was absolutely spotless and well equipped, the bed was very comfortable. It was a little closer to the main house than expected but there’s a screen outside the door so not a problem.
