The Store at Kekerengu offers fine dining, or cafe lunches, with a view over the bay. It includes a campsite for motor caravanners.

 

We were driving north to Picton from Kaikoura, and noticed The Store as we were passing through Kekerengu. It looked like significantly more than a country dairy, so we stopped to have a look.

 

Inside was a really nice cafe with lots of people sitting outside under sun umbrellas having lunch, or afternoon tea. It looked pretty good, so we decided to join them.

 

IWhat a great discovery! We didn't need to stay at the time, but it's a great option for the future, especially as the restaurant does evening meals as well.

 

If you'd like to stay, you can book in at the restaurant.
