Hello.. I am Colette and would love to welcome you to South Bay Rest, just a 2 minute walk to the sea at South Bay. I love living in Kaikoura and enjoy fishing, snorkeling, getting out on my bike and river swimming too, so if you are keen, ask about the local spots.

South Bay is on the south side of the Kaikoura peninsula, and is a popular beach fishing cycling and picnic area. We have beautiful sunsets, beaches of tiny stones instead of sand and the main marina for all the sea based activities the area is famous for. You can walk over the walking tracks to town in 30 minutes where you will find great cafes, dining and shopping.
