Top neighbourhoods in Kaikōura

Kaikoura Flat

Kaikoura Flat gives you front-row seats to nature's greatest hits without the tourist crowds. The majestic Mount Fyffe towers over peaceful residential streets while Kaikoura Beach offers the perfect spot to scan for marine wildlife. Take morning walks along the shoreline or venture to nearby trails that wind through the Seaward Kaikoura Range. The area's holiday rentals and B&Bs typically come with stunning ocean or mountain views. You'll need a hire car to explore properly, as dining options require a quick 5-10 minute drive into Kaikoura township, where fresh seafood awaits. The quiet area vibe makes this spot perfect for stargazers and those seeking authentic coastal New Zealand.

Small but beautiful town. Tons to do. Sadly my seal encounter got cancelled due to weather, but my dolphin encounter was the best thing I've ever done in my entire life. And I heard the whale watching was also phenomenal. When I get back to NZ (hopefully one day), I'll definitely be doing all 3 and spending more time here!

South Bay

South Bay invites you to witness coastal magic where fur seals bask on dramatic rocky outcrops and whales migrate past viewing platforms. Stroll the Kaikōura Peninsula Walkway for breathtaking ocean panoramas or explore tide pools teeming with fascinating marine life. The pebbly beach and unspoiled shoreline offer authentic New Zealand coastal experiences away from crowds. Seafood lovers can savour fresh crayfish and blue cod at casual waterfront eateries. Choose from charming B&Bs or self-contained apartments with ocean views, most featuring outdoor decks and direct beach access. A hire car is essential as public transport is limited, though walking paths connect to the main township just 15 minutes away.

Kaikoura Peninsula

Kaikoura Peninsula serves up the ultimate wildlife show right from its dramatic shorelines. Fur seals bask on rocky platforms while lucky visitors might spot whales and dolphins playing in the Pacific. The Peninsula Walkway winds through native flax and tussock grasslands with killer ocean views at every turn. Point Kean Seal Colony offers up-close encounters with New Zealand's furry locals without the crowds. Seafood is the star here, with restaurants dishing up fresh crayfish and green-lipped mussels just steps from where they're caught. Most accommodation is eco-lodges and boutique motels with wildlife observation decks. Getting around requires a car, but the well-maintained coastal tracks make exploring on foot a breeze.
