## About this property

### Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

### Esplanade Townhouse

Location is epic for this 2-bedroom townhouse just over the bridge on the Esplanade with river and wharf views.  
  
Within walking distance of the city shops, 7 restaurants and bars. Raglan Roast and a Four Square just a block away. The Tairawhiti Museum and the Farmers Market just over the river. Waikanae beach, a 15 minute walk down the rivers walkway.  
  
The Esplanade Townhouse is comfortable, and is tastefully decorated with an impressive array of original Gisborne Artwork.  
  
If you want the hustle and bustle of the port and inner city, this is for you. Nau mai haere mai!
