Gisborne enjoy discoving
Eastwoodhill Arboretum - a beautiful 135 hectare nature reserve, situated a leisurely 30 minute drive from Gisborne. This attraction has been recognised as a Garden of National Significance by the NZ Gardens Trust and is renowned as the the "National Arboretum of New Zealand".
Eastwoodhill Arboretum boats the largest collection of Northern Hemisphere trees in the Southern Hemisphere and is a wonderful day's outing for garden enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
A variety of walking tracks encompass the whole arboretum, both long and short, gentle and strenuous catering for all levels of fitness. Eastwoodhill Arboretum offers guided walking, however we recommend the 4- wheel drive tour that will easily take you to the far reaching areas of the park.
Eastwoodhill Arboretum is most famous for its spectacular Autumn colour, however we think it is spectacular whatever the season. Truly a hidden gem on the outskirts of Gisborne that is appreciated by all visitors that discover its charms.
