Manakau is a mountain peak in the Canterbury region of New Zealand's South Island.[2] At 2,608 metres, 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]).
Water from the mountain feeds the Waiau Toa / Clarence, Hapuku and Kowhai Rivers.[7]
