THE BEACH

Wainui Beach is a small settlement located 8 km to the east of Gisborne city centre.

The beach is one of the NZ Automobile Association's 101 Must do places for Kiwis because of its consistent surf breaks and beautiful white sand.

Great location
Lovely stay, so close to the beach and 5 mins drive from the shops. Very welcoming hosts who are around but not intrusive. Will return.

Simple, pleasant and friendly
Kate and Anton's place was exactly what we were looking for. The check in process was clear and felt very casual and trusting. The kitchen was well equipped and stocked, ready for cooking with our own food. Despite Kate and Anton living just above, it felt private yet friendly. Recommend for those looking for a spot close to the surf, an indoor space to chill and for those who will do a bit of self-catering.

Great place to stay on Wainui Beach
We had a great time staying at Lobbsters, enjoyed the beach and coastal cycleway at our doorstep. There was a great little coffee shop a few minutes walk away, and fantastic eateries a short drive into town. The ground floor apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was nice and easy to cool even on a hot summer day.

We had a really lovely stay. A cosy bach that is only a stone's throw to the beach. We were super comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. Anton & Kate were super welcoming on arrival, giving us some local tips.

Just what we needed
Catherine and Anton were friendly and helpful. Close to beaches and room out back for our surfboards. We paid a lot because it was only on e night but would have liked to stay longer. Negatives: not many no aircon, could have done with some milk for morning coffee. Recommended
