点评:This is a oldest surviving building and important heritage site in Kaikoura, providing a link to the town's early colonial and whaling history. The Flyff House is located along Avoca Street and can be conveniently visited before or after the seeing the seal colony or doing a bit of hiking around Point Kean further down the Kaikoura Peninsula.
The Flyff House was originally built in the 1840s and is uniquely situated upon a foundation of whale bones. The house changed hands a few times and was finally turned over the state to become a heritage site and museum in the 1980s. Today, it can be visited between 12pm to 5pm (Wed - Mon), closed on Tuesdays. Entry fee is NZ$12 per adult, $6 per students.
Caretakers within the Flyff House provide a nice 10-15 minute history of the house, those who lived here and some interesting related information. You can then walk through the old house, most of which is in its original condition. There is also a gift shop, original garden outside the house, foundations of the old Pier Hotel, old chimney ruin, old wharf remains and other interesting things to see around the museum grounds if you have a few extra minutes to explore.

弗莱夫故居始建于19世纪40年代,其独特的地理位置在于它建在鲸鱼骨骼地基之上。这座房屋几经易手,最终在20世纪80年代被移交给州政府,成为历史遗迹和博物馆。如今,故居的开放时间为周三至周一中午12点至下午5点,周二闭馆。门票价格为成人12新西兰元,学生6新西兰元。
弗莱夫故居的管理员会为您讲解房屋的历史,包括曾经居住于此的人们以及一些相关的趣闻轶事,讲解时间为10-15分钟。之后,您可以漫步于这座古老的房屋之中,房屋的大部分都保留着原貌。如果您有多余的几分钟时间探索博物馆周围,还可以参观礼品店、原汁原味的房屋外花园、旧码头酒店的地基、旧烟囱遗址、旧码头遗迹和其他有趣的地方。
