Manakau is a mountain peak in the Canterbury region of New Zealand's South Island.[2] At 2,608 metres (8,556 ft), it is the highest peak of the Seaward Kaikōura Range.[3]
Five routes to the summit have been described,[4] including the popular one from Barratts Bivvy[5] (however the bivvy itself was destroyed during 2016 Kaikōura earthquake).[6]
