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 here! Kathy has been great and responsive to any enquiries. We throughly enjoy our stay in Gisborne at the Verandah!

Warm and welcoming. Lovely comfy beds. We liked the indoor outdoor flow and gardens. Bathrooms functional but would be good to have a seperate toilet. Shared room could be made into two seperate rooms to mitigate snoring noises Secure latches on windows to allow windows open at night to let in fresh air would be also be good. Wonderful spacious home which we enjoyed and so close to amenities

Our whanau stayed at the Verandah to attend our Kori’s 80th birthday. We had a large group staying so needed a big place. This property was awesome, it was big enough to easily accommodate us all comfortably, and we never felt as though we were tripping over each other. The house is very well appointed and had everything we needed to cook all our meals during our stay, so we weren’t having to eat out. Having young kids with us, we really appreciated all the toys and games that were available for us to use, the kids made good use of these and the large enclosed back yard. We stayed in winter and were delighted to find the gas fire place and heaters on when we arrived, so the house was really warm and comfortable. Finally, the host Kathy was brilliant. She was very accommodating, quick responding to any questions we had and a pleasure to deal with. I have no hesitation highly recommending this property as a great place to stay for your trip to Gisborne.

The best place we have stayed for a long time; well-stocked and with everything you need. It is like a home away from home.

9 adults enjoyed this beautiful well kept villa. The moment we opened the door we felt invited in. She was well equipped with beautiful outdoor verandah to gather around and reminisce on your days outing..truky a remarkable, spacious home... we moved every moment.. we are already promoting The Verandah to our family and friends.

Clean and comfortable

Great location easy walk into the city. Loads of space, lovely host and very clean.

Had the most amazing stay here for the weekend with some friends. Kathy was super lovely, helpful and accommodating to deal with when I needed to make modifications to my booking. The house is gorgeous, great area and ideal for a group trip away to sunny Gisbourne. Just wish we could have had more time to enjoy here and to make the most of all the outdoor activities/games provided at the house. Highly recommend!

The house was excellent for our sports team visiting Gisborne for 3 days and was very well equipped with everything we needed to be self catering - it was exactly as advertised. The house was well presented and easy to keep warm with electric and gas heaters. The kitchen is new and modern with heaps of cutlery, plates, casseroles and appliance - we loved having a pod coffee machine! The five bedrooms (one with an ensuite bathroom) were all large and spacious, and there are several indoor lounge seating areas. There is a large washing machine and dryer, plus an outdoor clothesline in the large back yard. We enjoyed spending time out on the lovely deck and had one of of our meals at the large outdoor table. Communication with Kathy was easy and efficient and entry instructions were clear. We appreciated an early check in when we arrived on a wet rainy day. This is a great house for a large group and we would love to stay again if we are ever back in Gisborne. Thanks Kathy and family.

Loved the era of the property! Beautiful old school with modern luxury! We all had our space but enjoyed hanging out by the fire! We had the best weekend thank you!
