Location & Direction

If you are driving to Kaikoura from Picton or Nelson from the north, follow the town centre signs, continue along the waterfront and hey presto, there we are.

If you are traveling from Christchurch and Hanmer Springs to Kaikoura, follow the town centre sign at the top of the hill. When you come to the sea, don't go straight ahead, instead turn left and you're there.

We are only two hours drive from Picton, Christchurch & Hanmer Springs.
