Location: Howick | Re: Auckland to gisborne driving time? 8 hours last time I went, although that was in a hired Toyota Previa, mum was driving though so only after 2 speeding tickets did we start slowing down... Maybe some truck drivers may know???

Location: Christchurch | Re: Auckland to gisborne driving time? Gisborne is about 3.5 hours from Whakatane (well it was the last time I went?) and it takes me 4 hours to do Whakatane to Westmere (Tims house actually). So 7.5 - 8 hours is about right. |

Location: Gisborne | Re: Auckland to gisborne driving time? 3.5 hours Ben? Dam did u go around the coast lol. Adam is right its about 6-7. Usually around 4-4.5hours from Tauranga to Gizzy. The Opotiki to Gisborne road is the good part of the trip with all the bends and hills etc. |
