My sister and I traveled to New Zealand for a short getaway. We landed in Christchurch and drove straight to Kaikoura where we stayed for a day. There isn't much to do there apart from some sea viewing and whale watching. The whale watching costs a whopping AUS$130 and for someone who gets a little motion sickness it’s not an ideal way to spend your day. Kaikoura is a very small town and it would be a nice place to stop and take a break from driving. That's about it.
