Surf City Lodge
Surf City Lodge is a privately owned, Bed and Breakfast lodge in Gisborne. The stately two-storeyed 1920's Californian Bungalow provides comfortable, quality guest accommodation and is situated within minutes walk of the city centre.
The Lodge has a large comfortable lounge with Sky digital television and free wireless broadband. A separate dining room also doubles as a quiet reading room. All main facilities are shared, with a guest only bathroom and we are Smokefree. The three queen-sized guest bedrooms in the main lodge are secure, warm and comfortable with a separate self-contained cabin with en-suite also available.
We use quality linen, towels and robes and provide natural soaps and shampoos. For the fitness minded, there is a multi-gym and rowing machine along with three road/mountain bikes for guests to tour the city. The streets around the lodge are flat and ideal for an early morning jog. A generous continental and cooked breakfast is included in the rate.
