Welcome to the Kaikoura District Council and the local government website for the Kaikoura District of New Zealand. Kaikoura is a Green Globe Certified Community: we are committed to sustaining our environment by managing and improving our impact and were one of the first Councils to adopt a Zero Waste Policy. Our website offers both tourist information for those who visit Kaikoura and community information for local people.
The Lyell Creek car park is a free parking facility catering for approximately 80 cars. There is a footbridge linking the car parks to the West End town centre, and a boardwalk leading directly to the Whale Watch Kaikoura booking office.
