Established 1890

About us

One of New Zealand’s longest operating pharmacies — something we’re quite proud of.

Looking after Kaikoura for over 130 years

Since 1890, Kaikoura Pharmacy has carefully looked after the locals and welcomed visitors from out of town and across the globe.

You will find us in the middle of Kaikoura’s retail strand, known as the West End (like London’s, only much smaller).

We are conveniently located within walking distance of Kaikoura Healthcare, with whom we work closely to ensure a collaborative approach to the many professional services we supply.
