Fyffe House - Kaikoura
The oldest house in Kaikoura built in 1842. Her foundations are made from whale bone vetebrae.
My New Zealand Trip in April 2019 - part 4 Fyffe house at Kaikoura
Rich in human history, the story of this area began with the arrival of the ancestors of today's Māori people. Hunting the southern right whale, Europeans arrived over 600 years later. Today this house, along with the stories it tells of a developing town and the three families that lived here, are all that remains of the 'Waiopuka Fishery', Robert Fyfe's whaling station that was established in 1842.

kaikoura peninsula walk
Kaikoura is a coastal town on the South Island of New Zealand. It’s known for its abundant wildlife and its sperm whale population. The Kaikoura Peninsula Walkway winds from the town centre to lookout points at Point Kean. Close by, the rock platforms are home to a colony of New Zealand fur seals. The 1800s Fyffe House is a cottage built on a foundation of whalebones, with displays on the town’s whaling past.
Fyffe House Completion
Fyffe House is an iconic and historic part of the Kaikoura peninsula. With your help, the rusting roof has been replaced and an important original retaining wall on the site has been rebuilt. In this short video, Ann McCaw (Fyffe House Property Manager) walks you round the replacements and tries to bring to life the difference your donations have made. No expensive production was used – just a simple iPhone – so please bear this in mind when viewing the video!

Mount Fyffe (1602m) - Kaikoura
Got Mt Fyffe out of the way last weekend. This is a high def video of the view from the summit.
Superb views over the Kaikoura plains and peninsula reward those who climb on Mt Fyffe. On a clear day the view at higher levels includes Banks Peninsula and the North Island. From Mount Fyffe car park follow the 4WD road up the mountain's long south-west ridge. The road goes right to the summit; a return journey of about 8 hours.
Those with less time or energy could go as far as Mt Fyffe Hut (8 bunks) (5 hours return) or the lookout point near a firepond, which is just an hour above the car park.
Further information is available form the Department of Conservation:
