This was the perfect location as a base to explore Gisborne. It was so central that we could walk everywhere and the river outlook was lovely. The apartment was well set up and had everything we could possibly want for a very comfortable stay. The only recommendation I'd make is that any light sleepers might benefit from earplugs as the port across the river was working really late one of the nights we were there. But it wasn't overly intrusive and provided a fascinating view during the day!
