Eastwoodhill Escape Showcases New Zealand’s Botanical Heritage and Gisborne’s Wine Culture
A four-hour guided excursion from Tairāwhiti Gisborne is giving visitors the opportunity to explore one of New Zealand’s most significant botanical landmarks while enjoying the region’s renowned food and wine. The journey begins with a scenic drive to Eastwoodhill, the National Arboretum of New Zealand, where an expert local guide introduces guests to a remarkable collection of trees and plants that has grown from a private vision established in 1910 into a world-class conservation destination.
Spread across 131 hectares, Eastwoodhill is home to more than 25,000 plant specimens representing an extraordinary diversity of native and exotic species. Visitors are encouraged to explore the arboretum at their own pace, following a network of walking tracks that range from gentle tree-lined paths to more challenging routes leading to panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Gisborne countryside. Throughout the reserve, seasonal displays of colour and an abundance of birdlife create an immersive natural experience in every season.
The arboretum also serves as an important sanctuary for wildlife, with around 40 bird species inhabiting its diverse landscapes. As visitors move through the extensive collection, they gain a deeper appreciation of New Zealand’s commitment to conservation, horticulture and environmental stewardship. The peaceful surroundings provide a welcome contrast to the bustle of everyday life, making the experience as restorative as it is educational.
The excursion concludes with a visit to one of Gisborne’s celebrated cellar doors, where guests can unwind over a vineyard platter paired with a tasting of locally produced wines. The relaxed finale highlights the region’s reputation for premium viticulture and fresh local produce, offering a fitting conclusion to a day that combines natural beauty with culinary excellence. The return journey to Gisborne completes an experience that celebrates both the landscapes and flavours of Tairāwhiti.
