Ohau Stream Walkway and Waterfall
Roughly 20kms from Kaikoura in direction of Blenheim, there is a sign on the left.
10 min walk, we saw some seal pups in the stream, right in the bush!! You can climb up the side of the waterfall and swim in the pool from where the water drops. Cold as but stunning view!!
