Amidst breathtaking landscapes stands a landmark building – a place of beauty, and craftsmanship. Set between the Seaward Kaikoura Mountain Range and the Pacific Ocean, Fyffe Country Lodge captures the essence of New Zealand living, with a lifestyle rich in adventure and natural splendour. More than a home, it is a property that inspires, whether as a private residence, a treasured holiday retreat, or a continuation of its established five star lodge reputation.
Built from hand-crafted 100lb rammed earth blocks and with Canadian Cedar shake features, this is no ordinary construction. Independent builders have estimated it would take over $4 million to recreate today – a true testament to its enduring quality.
Nestled within established English-style gardens, the main residence features a welcoming guest lounge and expansive dining hall that has hosted celebrated dining experiences and memorable events. Upstairs, four private suites await, each with its own en-suite, including the Mount Fyffe Suite with spa bath, cathedral ceilings, and a bay window framing majestic mountain views. A separate wing offers three further suites, seamlessly connected to the lodge. The chef’s kitchen, with top-quality appliances, invites both everyday cooking and fine entertaining.
Beyond the gates, Kaikoura offers a lifestyle second to none – hiking, skiing, fishing, whale watching, diving for abalone, golf, fly fishing, and village life with boutique shops and restaurants.
Fyffe Country Lodge is not just a property – it is a landmark legacy, awaiting its next devoted caretakers to write the next chapter of its story.
