Earthquake: Support the small Family business Emporium

Laura and Paul recently moved from Christchurch to Kaikoura to setup a new business. After just a few short months of hard work their future is now full of uncertainty due to an earthquake. The magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck the north-eastern part of the South Island, New Zealand on Monday 14th November 2016. The quake cut all roads in and out of Kaikoura, including the main State Highway 1 along the east coast, effectively halting all tourist activity. Through-traffic is expected to be stopped for at least several months but likely much longer. Please show your support for them and the great ideas for their business.

Damage to their property and business:

Along the back where it runs alongside the creek it has subsided along holes 4 to 8 (mini-golf course). In some places the ground has moved sideways, and dropped quite a lot. There are a few cracks that are a meter deep.

The biggest disappointment is that they have been failed by their insurance company.

The donations will help them repair the mini golf because insurance wont help and to enable them to keep paying bills until they start getting income again.

Thanks for your support!

Located in the beautiful seaside town of Kaikoura on New Zealand's south island The Emporium is planned to not only be the new home of Emporium Brewing but also a fun place to visit for tourists and locals of all ages.

The owners recently refurbished the 18-hole mini golf course and work was in progress to open two Escape Rooms. They aimed to provide a range of activities here on dry land for when you are back from your ocean adventures viewing all the wonderful marine life Kaikoura has to offer.
