This area is the heart of Gisborne Point, offering direct access to Lake Rotorua. It's characterised by properties that often have private jetties or easy access to the water, superb for boating and fishing. The main road itself is relatively quiet, lined with holiday homes and a few local amenities.


For families, staying along Gisborne Point Road is an excellent choice. Many holiday homes here boast spacious gardens and direct lake access, allowing children to play and swim in a relaxed setting. Proximity to the lakefront also means easy access to kayaking and paddleboarding opportunities, providing plenty of outdoor activities for all ages.


Couples seeking a tranquil retreat will also find this area appealing. The peaceful lakeside setting offers stunning views, particularly at sunrise and sunset, ideal for romantic walks or simply relaxing on a balcony overlooking the water.

The best time to go to Gisborne Point is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, superb for enjoying the region's outdoor activities.


During these months, you can expect long, sunny days with average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 25°C, making it ideal for swimming, surfing, and exploring the coastline. The sea temperatures are also at their warmest, inviting you to take a dip in the Pacific Ocean. This period is particularly good for families looking to make the most of the beaches and water sports available.


For couples seeking a slightly quieter experience with pleasant weather, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are also excellent choices. You'll still enjoy mild temperatures, fewer crowds, and often better deals on accommodation and activities.
