Fyffe House

Robert Fyffe came from Scotland to Kaikoura in the early 1840s and set up a whaling station. He and then his cousin lived in this house (left), followed by two other families who were involved with the local wharf and fishing. When the last of them died off in 1980 he handed it over in his will to the Conservation Trust and it’s now open to the public. An unbroken link to the whaling days. Dave
