The old house in Fife was built 160 years ago and is the first European-style building in Kaikoura. Not far from the center of the city, the historical significance is quite large, the house is pink, made of whale bones.

Drive along the seaside We have inadvertently passed the old Fife residence, which is said to be the first European-style building 160 years ago, with a long history and a part of the foundation made famous by whale bones. Yes, this pink landmark, now inside is a museum, for a fee.

Fife's former residence Fyffe House, address 62 Avoca Street, Kaikoura, telephone + 64 3 319 5835 built in 1860, is the first European-style building in Kaikoura, partly built with whale bones, because early European immigrants settled in Kaikoura lived on whaling.

Walking from Kaikula to the sea lion gathering area, you will pass this pink hut. This hut has nearly a history. What is more special is that the foundation of this ancient house is made of whale bones, which is also a historical witness to Kaikula used to be a whale hunting base.
