The Ruins Accomodation

Welcome to The Ruins Accommodation, nestled in the heart of Gisborne – a city bathed in sunshine and steeped in history, where the Pacific Ocean meets the rugged East Cape coastline. Since our humble beginnings, we've been proudly offering travelers a unique blend of rustic charm and modern comfort, making us an ideal choice for those seeking a memorable stay amidst the untamed beauty of New Zealand's East Coast. Our collection of cabins, motels, and lodges is not just a place to rest your head; it's a sanctuary that invites you to unwind, explore, and create lasting memories. Each accommodation, thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained, offers a harmonious balance between the raw, untouched beauty of our surroundings and the modern conveniences you'd expect from a high-quality establishment. Our story began on a picturesque piece of land, where time seems to move at its own gentle pace – much like the meandering Waimata River that winds its way through our property. Over the years, we've grown and evolved, but our commitment to preserving the natural splendor of our surroundings has never wavered. Today, we invite you to share in the journey, whether you're here for a few nights or a lifetime. For those seeking adventure, The Ruins Accommodation serves as the perfect basecamp. Discover the region's rich history at the Gisborne Museum and Art Gallery, or take a leisurely stroll along the waterfront at Tairāwhiti Beach. For those in search of more active pursuits, there's no shortage of outdoor activities, from surfing the legendary waves of Wainui Beach to hiking the majestic slopes of Te Urewera National Park. After a day filled with adventure, return to the warmth and comfort of your cabin, motel, or lodge. Nestled among native trees and verdant gardens, each accommodation offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Soak in the serene atmosphere as you unwind on your private balcony, or curl up by the fireplace with a good book from our carefully curated library. We take pride in providing a home away from home for travelers seeking authentic experiences, and we invite you to become a part of our story. Whether you're here for a night, a week, or an extended stay, The Ruins Accommodation is more than just motels and lodges – it's your gateway to the unspoiled beauty and rich history of Gisborne. We can't wait to welcome you.
