Why we love it
Take advantage of the lodge's mountain bikes and cycle the local Hapuku trails up and down the coast to discover the magic of Kaikoura.
Join in with the region's olive picking season in May to June, and watch professionals at the lodge turn your produce into fresh olive oil.
Catch a wave at the world-famous Mangamaunu surf break, with the chance to even spot a seal in the water with you.
Enjoy a delicious hand-prepared picnic to enjoy on either a hike or cycle through Kaikoura's beautiful bush scenery.
Take a scenic flight over Kaikoura's coastal waters, home to a year-round sperm whale population, to admire these beautiful marine mammals.
Make the most of exclusive-use landing pads to see the incredible geological formations from the 2016 earthquake, with the chance to see the fault plane.
Swim with wild dolphins in their natural habitat, taking a boat out to sea and jumping in with only a wetsuit and snorkels between you and them.
Lesley & Hary
We had such a wonderful holiday. Katie put together a brilliant itinerary, which we tweaked a little in places, and the accommodation she chose was first class. She gave us great recommendations of activities and the whole trip went smoothly. Timings worked well between destinations because she had good knowledge of New Zealand, and the driving distances, car changes, ferry crossings, meeting points for activities were all easily achievable.
