Noah's Boutique Accommodation Moeraki

Moeraki is a small fishing village on the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand. It was once the location of a whaling station. In the 1870s, local interests believed it could become the main port for the north Otago area and a railway line, the Moeraki Branch, was built to the settlement and opened in 1877. However, the port could not compete with Oamaru and the lack of traffic as well as stability problems caused by difficult terrain led to the closure of the railway in 1879 after only two years' operation.

Moeraki is a small town that packs a big punch when it comes to natural beauty and unique attractions. One of the most famous landmarks in the area is the Moeraki Boulders, a collection of large, spherical stones scattered along Koekohe Beach. These boulders are a geological wonder, formed over millions of years by a process of sedimentation and erosion.

But Moeraki has more to offer than just its boulders. Take a stroll along the beach and you might spot some yellow-eyed penguins or fur seals basking in the sun. The nearby Katiki Point Lighthouse is a great spot for birdwatching, with a chance to see albatross and other seabirds.
