In a stunning seaside setting, Fyffe House is Kaikoura’s oldest surviving building and the last remnant of a pioneer whaling station established in 1842. Fyffe House lies about midway along the two-hour return walk that follows the shoreline between central Kaikoura and the Point Kean Seal Colony. This walk can also be extended to a half-day loop via the Peninsula Walkway, a must-do for active visitors. A lovely little gift shop is located at Fyffe House.
