About

Found on North Island, Captain Cook Motor Lodge sits at 31 Awapuni Road, Awapuni, Gisborne 4010, New Zealand. Gisborne is on the eastern side of North Island, and the city is reachable from Auckland, Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier and New Plymouth. The motel holds a 4.5 out of 5 average from 384 reviews.

That 4.5 out of 5 average across 384 reviews places Captain Cook Motor Lodge among the better-known motels in Gisborne. The motel's website at http://www.captaincook.co.nz/ gives visitors a direct line to its arrangements. Gisborne sits on the east coast, where the city's position makes it a natural stop for travellers working their way around North Island. Auckland and Wellington anchor the island's two ends, while Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier and New Plymouth fill out the map between them.

A hāngī, a meal cooked in an earth oven, and the pavlova dessert both belong to New Zealand food culture. Rugby union is followed closely nationwide, and the national team plays in black. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast.

New Zealand weather is changeable, and the surrounding ocean keeps both summer heat and winter frost moderate. That mildness makes Gisborne comfortable across the seasons, whether visitors arrive for the coast or for the town itself.
