Gisborne's mayor believes Rhythm and Vines’ organisers will struggle to get a venue as good as it has currently. 

This year's festival will be the last held at the Waiohika Estate before it relocates to a new undisclosed site. 

Organisers say the move will support the festival’s long-term future and will let it keep growing. 

Mayor Rehette Stoltz told Ryan Bridge it's a tough loss for the region, but it'll go out with a bang. 

She says it's hard to beat coming to Gisborne and camping in the vineyards with the sun and beautiful beaches.
