1. Katiki Point Lighthouse
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 216 reviews
Katiki Point is home to New Zealand fur seals and Yellow-eyed penguins, along with many other coastal species. It is cared for by volunteers who have created a sanctuary for penguins. They optimize the habitat, maximise breeding success and survival and minimize disturbance. They need $20k per year to do this work so a donation of $5 pp is appropriate. The donation box is by the gate. The reserve is open from 7:30am to 7:30pm. Visiting outside this time creates stress on the penguins and in the past, has cost the lives of chicks so please respect this. Do not use a flash on your camera and do not go closer than 5 m to the wildlife. Retreat if they move towards you.

Far more interesting than the nearby boulders, the pleasant walk around the lighthouse is rewarded with great views of the sea, mountains, sea lions, and the occasional penguin.

We were looking for a place that was sheltered from the prevailing wind and found this area a welcome and attractive spot. After our lunch we took the short walk to nearby caves - a delightful wander through bush alongside a small stream.

It was a must stop for us on the way from Oamaru to Dunedin. Lovely place with lots of tourists. Don't miss Fleurs Place (just 5 minutes away) - an excellent restaurant, cafe and bar right on the waterfront at the old jetty.
