A link to Kaikoura’s past, Fyffe House is the town’s oldest surviving building and encompasses far more than a house site. A former whaling station, the house is unique because some of the foundations used whalebone in their construction, as well as in some of the original walls outside the main building. Today, visitors can take a tour of the house and get a real sense of life in 19th century Kaikoura, as well as see some current local art, inside the ad-hoc gallery in the house’s grounds.
The Kaikoura Peninsula is home to a large colony of New Zealand Fur seals which breed in the area between April and September. There are a variety of walks that showcase the wildlife, mountains and sea. It is also a great ‘Dark Sky’ location where you can enjoy practically unpolluted starry views. Just watch out for the seals in the dark!
