Moeraki is a tranquil fishing village which was once used as a whaling station by early Europeans and is now home to a world-renowned restaurant, Fleurs Place.
The Millenium Walkway will guide you around the beautiful harbour and for a different view point head out to Katiki Historic Reserve where the engangered Yellow-Eyed Penguin can be seen along with the historic and still used lighthouse. The walkways at Katiki Point give you the most incredible view of the Pacific Ocean and down the coast towards Dunedin.

along the foreshore.

These massive, spherical concretions, commonly known to locals as boulders, were formed around 60 million years ago and can be seen scattered along Koekohe Beach.
