Sunshine Brewery NZ
The first beer to see the sun.
Inspired by Gisborne’s notoriously long summers and legendary surf breaks, Sunshine is a boutique brewery from the Eastern most point of New Zealand that celebrates the important things in life: Sun, surf, mates and good beer.
Since 1989, they’ve been brewing top quality beers for top quality people. Making them New Zealand’s oldest independent brewery.
Our goal was to reposition and rebrand Sunshine so it becomes as loved around New Zealand as it is in Gisborne. Creating a brand story that encompasses the people, the product, the history, the location.

Mahana Movie Premiere Gisborne New Zealand
More than 300 people last night gathered in a closed-off block of Gladstone Road for the Gisborne premiere of Mahana, in which Keefe, 15, makes his film debut. Director Lee Tamahori’s first New Zealand film in more than 20 years.
Mahana is based on Witi Ihimaera’s 1994 novel Bulibasha: King Of The Gypsies and — set in his hometown of Gisborne — is about the rivalry between two warring families on the rural East Coast.The Gisborne premiere was the most important of them all, Ihimaera told the crowd after he and the other members of “te Mahana film tribe” arrived in period-appropriate classic cars.Mahana last night opened in 92 theatres around New Zealand and in Gisborne alone will over the next couple of weeks have seats for an audience of 2000, he said.“So if there are any people in New Zealand who don’t know where Uawa is, where Waituhi is, where Gisborne is, they soon will.”In tribute to his late parents Tom and Julia Smiler, who get a nod in the film with the “Smiler’s” dairy in the fictional version of Patutahi township, Ihimaera said the film was for them “and all the other mums and dads who were the kings and queens of shearing in Turanga (Gisborne)”.He added to the praise Keefe has been receiving since the film debuted at the Berlin International Film Festival.“We are so very proud to have Augs in his first role and the critics are already raving. He has a pure heart and that’s why all his whanau is here to support him.”Also at last night’s premiere were producer Robin Scholes, who worked with Tamahori on Kiwi classic Once Were Warriors, Gisborne-born cultural adviser Haare Williams and actor Temuera Morrison, who plays the domineering patriarch of the Mahana family.After extending apologies from the absent Tamahori, Scholes said it was “a privilege to be part of bringing Mahana home”.“Without Witi’s book, Lee’s talent as a filmmaker and the work of Temuera, Augs and the rest of the wonderful cast, this would never have happened.”For the premiere, one of the Odeon’s theatres was packed out with Ihimaera’s Te Whanau-a-Kai/Te Aitanga-a-Mahaki whanau and Keefe’s supporters from the East Coast. Paying guests filled another.Whoops, cheers and whistles greeted the rollicking “Maori Western” movie which, as star Temuera Morrison pointed out, takes audiences back to 1960s New Zealand.

Gisborne - Rediscover Yourself
Manutuke Eco Retreat
A boggy paddock has been transformed into a beautiful wetland and lakeside eco retreat at Manutuke. Justine Tyerman talks to owner Richie Clark as the retreat opens to the public . . .
Born in Africa
As Pamela executes her last karate chop of 101 plump pillows and moves an armchair half a centimetre to the left, Richie stands back, surveys the scene and nods with a hint of a smile on his face — he gives a thumbs-up and the sound of a thousand bees and cicadas ruffles the tranquil rural atmosphere as the videographer and photographer launch their hunt for images.
Construction and design work has just finished at Manutuke Eco Retreat and it’s time to introduce Gisborne’s latest up-market rural glamping venue to the world.
The twin-tent lakeside glamping site, built on a raised platform above Te Wai Repo O Te Arai Awa (the wetland of Te Arai River), is carefully designed and luxuriously furnished with sustainability and eco principles paramount. It’s off-the-grid, powered only by the sun, and visually beautiful.
A glimmer of the idea for the retreat came to owner Richie Clark a few years ago while he was travelling through Africa, camping under canvas, cooking and eating under the stars, surrounded by nature.
“I travelled for three months from Capetown to Rwanda camping every night in a different location,” says Richie who grew up at Manutuke on land farmed by his family since 1882.
“There was just something special about being in a tent in the natural environment as opposed to being enclosed in a hotel room,” he says.
Back home walking the hills of his family’s property at Manutuke, Richie looked down on a cattle paddock which typically turns into a bog in the winter.
“I thought ‘wouldn’t it be nice if the paddock was converted back into a wetland as it was a few centuries ago?’ ”
“We had the paddock surveyed and found there was virtually no fall which meant by building a dam wall we could create an eight-hectare lake.”
After two winters the lake filled with water and the wetland was born . . . along with Richie’s vision to create an eco-retreat on the lakeshore.
Fast forward five months, and thanks to the hard work of interior architect Pamela Hall, builder Sam Bain, landscape architect Willie Murphy, kitchen designer Tony Sharp . . . and a few good mates, Richie’s dream has become a reality. The retreat hosted its first guests last week and is now fielding inquiries from far and wide.
Nature fix
Richie envisages the retreat as a place to disconnect from social media and reconnect with nature, a restorative, healing haven.
“It’s an opportunity to get right away from screens, large and small, to slow down, have a digital-detox and get a nature fix.
“Exposure to nature makes us healthier, happier and more creative,” he says.
“Due to our busy lives and the lure of technology, we are experiencing a collective dislocation from the natural world.
“At Manutuke Eco Retreat, the idea is you come to stay for two or three days and be completely immersed in nature. We don’t have television, computers or Wifi and guests are encouraged to turn off their phones and focus on engaging their senses.
“Ideally you need three days to fully experience the nature effect. The first day at the retreat (and away from your phone), your mind is recalibrating and you start to notice things a little bit more. By day two you start to see cloud patterns, smell fragrances and hear sounds. By day three you forget what day of the week it is and a new reality takes over.”
The camping concept is experience-based, being part of nature — waking up with the birds and going to sleep when it’s dark, he says.
“We’ve designed several bird-watching areas to observe the 12 different species of waterfowl we have here. There are 1800 dabchicks in New Zealand and we are lucky to have 32 of them right here on our lake. We also have shovellers. So people can come here and learn all about the bird life.”
Guests can explore Te Wai Repo O Te Arai Awa on two stand-up paddleboards and a two-man kayak, and visit the little island in the middle of the lake.
The 70-hectare property, which was planted two years ago in redwoods, cedar and eucalyptus trees, offers excellent hiking and biking on 10 kilometres of flat and hill tracks.
“Jeff Carter of Southstar Trails is designing mountain bike trails for us which will add yet another dimension to the experience.
“We’re building a platform at the top of the hill overlooking the bay especially for yoga. You can take the jute yoga mats up there at sunrise or sunset, or chill out in the huge, 24-foot hammock that accommodates four people — a great place to relax. Eventually, there will be other hammock sites dotted around the property too.”
