The Store

Follow State Highway 1, 40 minutes from both Kaikoura and Blenheim, The Store is more than a halfway point, it's a destination in itself.

This is the place where the world comes to encounter whales, dolphins, seals and a whole host of bird-life. The Pacific Ocean is so close it's almost dining at the table with you! And the snowy peaks of Mount Tapuaenuku (Footprint of the Rainbow), the highest peak outside the main divide, form a stunning backdrop.

Whether it's a cup of coffee and a slice of cake or a full a la carte meal, the food at The Store suits all tastes. Considered one of the best eateries in the Marlborough Region, The Store proudly serves up the local delicacy - lobster - especially delicious with a glass of Marlborough-grown sauvignon blanc.

On summer days relax on the wide sun-soaked decks. In winter, warm yourself by the open hearth fireplace.

After your meal wander down to the beach and experience the rugged East Coast first hand.

From here you can also take on challenging hiking tracks such as Saw Cut Gorge or explore the nearby Kekerengu River. Surfcasting and surfing opportunities are also close by.
