IMPORTANT NOTICE: The earthquake has not affected our track. We are OPEN as usual. Travel straight up SH1 from Christchurch as usual, the road to the Conway River is always open. Do not turn left at Waipara but continue straight on to Cheviot and Kaikoura.
Easy to get to us by bus as Kaikoura Express and Intercity are running buses to Kaikoura and back and stop at our corner Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. This can be altered at short notice. On 15th December the road up the coast to Kaikoura and on to Picton will be open every day but until then please check on road status using this link

We spent a fantastic two weeks on the South Island for our honeymoon and the Kaikoura Coast Track was one of the best parts. Wonderful views, rich variety of landscapes, and comfy places to stay. Highly recommended!
