This cemetery is situated adjacent to the Wellington-Napier railway line, opposite the intersection of Carruthers St and Knorpe Street Otane. It was closed following the last burial in 1903. The headstone and surrounds had deteriorated to such an extent they had became a danger. Many headstones were made out of wood and were destroyed by grass fires caused by sparks from the passing steam trains. Those headstones able to be salvaged are now at the Otane Cemetery on State Highway 2. Recently a memorial has been erected on the Kaikora Cemetery site along with a board listing the known burials
