SCOUT/SUPPLIED A precious gem of a coastal town. First, there’s the compact main street, with its shops and cafés and council building shaped like a cray pot. Follow the road past the curving beach and stick with it for a few minutes as you pass a historic pink cottage, the remnants of old whaling stations and finally come to a carpark overlooking a seal colony at the tip of the Kaikōura peninsula. Yes, it’s a peninsula. I mean, who knew? SCOUT/SUPPLIED Maui, about to go fishing. Not me – until 2017, that is, when I made my first dedicated trip to this precious gem of a coastal town (population 2400) and discovered that Māori legend has Māui using the peninsula as a foothold to brace himself as he pulled the North Island out of the ocean. So without Kaikōura, Auckland could be just another suburb of Hobart. In which case, it’s a big old ngā mihi, Māui. Or kā mihi, as they say down here.
