A
Fyffe House
Kaikoura’s oldest surviving building is Fyffe House. Built by Scotsman George Fyffe, cousin of Kaikoura’s first European settler, Robert Fyffe, it started life as a small cottage in 1842 (with whale vertebrae for foundations) and was completed in 1860. There’s plenty to see inside and out, including the original brick oven, historical displays and gardens.
