About the host
Hosted by BRUCE & TAZ
I came to Gisborne in 1972 and began my teaching career and building a house at Wainui beach in 1978. I left New Zealand in 1985 on QE11 Arts Scholarships in America to complete a BFA and MA in Contemporary Modern Dance. In 1996 I moved to Japan, spent 6 years working in Corporate Tokyo before accepting a Professors Position in a National Japanese University lecturing in Arts Communication. Now retired living in Japan we have owned 49 Moana Road since 2006 and began renting as WAINUIESCAPE in 2009. Now Taz and I travelling extensively which of course includes Wainui Escape.
What makes this property unique
Unique Charming Community which I feel offers so much for every visitor. I know this as I have very happy return clients who share this opinion and my frequent visits are very special too.
