Eastwoodhill Express


You will be shuttled from Gisborne to Eastwoodhill Arboretum.  Eastwoodhill encompasses over 131 hectares planted in exotic and native trees, shrubs and climber plantings.  The collection was planted by Douglas Cook and is regarded as the largest and most comprehensive collection of Northern Hemisphere trees south of the equator.  Begin your day with a walk around the magnificent gardens.  Eastwoodhill walks cater for all levels of fitness and abilities, from flat tree lined paths to a steep climb up Mt Arateitei which rewards visitors with glorious views of the arboretum and the surrounding countryside.  All walks are clearly signposted and maps are available from the Visitors Centre.

When you are ready, get on your bike, prepare for a change of pace as you head down Ngatapa Hill, an exhilarating downhill.  Wind your way back to Gisborne through the productive Poverty Bay Flats, home to quality vineyards and wineries.  Enjoy a vineyard platter and wine tasting at one of our lovely Gisborne cellar doors.
