Where to eat and stay in Gisborne
66 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels in Gisborne, Gisborne — compiled from open data and public registers. Free to search, and no venue pays to appear.
We hold 66 venues in Gisborne — 49 places to eat and 17 to stay. That is more than anywhere else in Gisborne, and 65% of everything mapped across the region.
Of the places to eat, 20% are cafés against a national figure of 28%. Gisborne skews 8 points away from cafés and towards restaurants, a pattern more typical of an evening trade. The full split is 10 cafés, 23 restaurants, 13 takeaways, 2 bars and 1 pubs.
21 of the 49 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are burger (4), fish and chips (4) and sushi (3). Relative to the rest of the country Gisborne is unusually strong on sushi, fish and chips and burger — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.
On the practical detail: 8 publish opening hours (12%), 3 are recorded as step-free, 2 have outdoor seating and 2 flag vegetarian options. That trails the 23% national average — worth ringing ahead rather than trusting the listing.
For a bed, Gisborne runs to 17 listings — 2 hotels, 8 motels, 2 hostels and 5 holiday parks and campgrounds. Motels dominate, at 47% of the town's accommodation.
Places of a similar size — Ōtāhuhu (67), Papatoetoe (67), Birkenhead (65) and Petone (68) — average 6% accommodation. Gisborne runs at 26%, noticeably more, which is what a place that takes in visitors looks like.
All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 2 of the 66 venues in Gisborne carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
