The Verandah at Gisborne
I booked the Verandah at Gisborne for myself and family to stay in for my wedding and the house was incredible and charming! Lots of space and bedrooms for a family and a nice large backyard and deck to relax and enjoy a meal. Comfortable beds and gorgous lounge. Highly recommend any family to stay ...

Very nice day! Beautiful room and vineyards! The room was very clean and neat and really appreciated the Aircon. The staff were very accommodating and helped us set up a wine tasting in our room with a cheese platter.
