Enjoy Gisborne’s outdoor scenery plus activities for the kids!

Looking for the perfect place to unwind with the family? Head over to Gisborne Botanic Gardens, just a short drive from our Willow community!

Open daily from 9am – 5pm the Gisborne Botanic Gardens offers lush green spaces and beautiful gardens to wander through.

The Gardens also feature a children’s adventure playground right next to Jackson Creek, presenting the perfect opportunity for kids to explore, with plenty of room to run around and enjoy the natural surroundings.

Best of all, it’s completely free to visit!

For an extra dose of fun, take a 20-minute stroll north to enjoy the Gisborne Steam Park, featuring displays of vintage machinery and equipment.

For those visiting on the first Sunday of every month, the park offers a delightful miniature railway experience, where the whole family can hop on for a scenic ride.

The steam trains operate from 11am – 3pm and tickets are priced at $4 for adults and $@ for kids, making it a fun, budget-friendly activity for all ages.
