Acton Estate

Surrounding Area

The "First to See the Light" Eastland district contains beautiful lakes, National Park Forests, Glorious white sand beaches, and untouched natural beauty. Gisborne was the first city in the world to greet the new millennium, and every traveller to our town has the rare opportunity of beign the first in the world to welcome to new day! It was also one of the first parts of New Zealand to be settled by the Maoris, and is the first landfall of explorer Captain James Cook. Trout and deep sea fishing are a must on the Eastcoast, and we also offer a number of outdoor activities including, tramping, kayaking, abseiling, cave exploring, boutique winery tours, even shark cage diving!
