New Zealand: Special Report
|
In our latest special report on New Zealand property we profile three investment picks from some of the country’s top agents. New Zealand is ranked by many of Singapore’s leading agents as one of the top three international destinations for real estate investment, due to its stable economy, top class infrastructure, high long term returns, stunning scenery and easy access from Asia.
Gisborne
Gisborne, the first city in the world to see the sun each day, is located on the sunny East Coast of the North Island. The Maori name for the district is Tairawhiti which means "The coast upon which the sun shines across the water". Kaiti Beach, near the city, was where the Maori first arrived and is also the first European landing place in New Zealand. Captain Cook first set foot here in 1769. European settlement was established in 1831 and the town which developed was named after Hon. William Gisborne, the Colonial Secretary, in 1870.
The Gisborne district (population 45,000 with about 30,000 residing in the city) generally has warm summers and mild winters. Gisborne is one of the sunniest places in New Zealand with average yearly sunshine of around 2200 hours. The region’s annual rainfall varies from about 1000mm near the coast to over 2500mm in the higher inland country. Temperatures of 38ｰC have been recorded and an average 65 days a year have a maximum of over 24ｰC.
When its time to relax no matter whether you are looking for fine dining, award winning wineries, walks and nature reserves, fishing and diving or spectacular gardens, Gisborne has it all.
