Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Matawhero?
The best time to go to Matawhero is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, great for enjoying the region's outdoor activities and vineyards.

These months offer long daylight hours and average temperatures around 24°C, creating ideal conditions for exploring the local wineries, many of which are situated just a short drive from Matawhero along the Gisborne Wine Trail. Visitors can enjoy cellar door tastings and vineyard tours without the worry of rain.

Autumn, from March to May, is also a lovely time to visit. The weather remains pleasant, with slightly cooler temperatures, usually around 20°C, and the vineyards are often bustling with harvest activities. This period is particularly appealing for couples looking for a more relaxed experience, perhaps enjoying a gourmet meal at a vineyard restaurant or a stroll through the changing colours of the landscape.

While winter and spring can be cooler and wetter, the region still offers a pleasant escape for those who prefer fewer crowds and don't mind cooler temperatures.
