WELCOME TO KOURA BAY GOLF RESORT
Peaceful Panoramic Perfection
Perched on the foothills overlooking Kaikōura, the entire resort boasts such expansive ocean views that you can see the curvature of the Earth. Expect breathtaking sunrises and moonrises, while just outside the back door, the towering Kaikōura mountain ranges provide an up-close and personal backdrop – completing the iconic, postcard-worthy view that has made Kaikōura internationally famous. The resort is a product of enduring passion, with the lodge and golf course established in 2010 and the accommodation continuing to grow ever since.
