Kaiti Hill

Kaiti Hill, or Titirangi, overlooks Gisborne and offers one of the best panoramic views of the city, coastline, and Poverty Bay. This prominent hill is valued for both its scenery and its history: it marks an important site linked to the first encounters between Māori and Captain James Cook in 1769. A short drive or walk leads to viewing platforms, monuments, and picnic areas, making it an easy stop for visitors interested in local history, photography, or a quick introduction to the region.
