ēkerengū is a magical spot right on the edge of an ever-changing coastline where you can breathe a little deeper and fill your lungs with fresh ocean air. The sea will demand your attention and you can soak up the spectacle while enjoying delicious food at the award-winning café.
NEW AND UNIQUE • A kayaking excursion to Hope Springs in Whalers Bay will enthral; ever since the 2016 earthquake, natural gases have been fizzing and gurgling to the surface. • Uplift Mall: A mini-shopping destination which utilises shipping containers to accommodate cool and quirky popup shops. • Don’t miss Bernie’s Diner & Harmon’s Car Museum, a very slick 1950s-style American diner and car museum rolled into one. • Kaikōura is home of the Ngāti Kurī people. Book with Māori Tours and experience Māori traditions with a descendant of the iwi.
Go rafting on the Clarence River, take a walk along the Kēkerengū River, check out the seals – from a safe distance – at Ohau Point or take a deep-sea fishing charter. Kēkerengū is conveniently located halfway between the marine life mecca of Kaikōura and the desirable wine region of Blenheim.
