Katiki Point Lighthouse (built in 1878) stands on Katiki Point Historic Reserve/Te Raka-a-Hineatea. Close by is the site of the old Te Raka-a-Hineatea Pa. The reserve is vested in Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu who manage the reserve in conjunction with Te Rūnanga o Moeraki. Large numbers of New Zealand fur seals/kekeno haul out to rest on the rocky platforms around Katiki Point and Moeraki Peninsula. This is the main breeding area in North Otago. Please note access to this area is restricted to between 7.30am and 7.30pm daily.
The cache is a bison tube with log only, bring your own pen/pencil. Dependent on where the locals are sunning themselves it may be prudent on some occasions to leave the cache for another day, your call..
