Donegal House - Kaikoura

Didint stay just called in for a drink but what a beautiful place! Met the new owner, this place is huge, fire going, grounds are stunning, perfect for a wedding or event, 29 rooms of various sizes and the whole camper/caravan sites and facilities look awesome. Clean place and friendly welcoming staff. Restaurant and bar both look well stocked and inviting. Owner said dog could be here outside. Lovely place.

Went to Kaikoura for a function and was delighted to seeing Donegal House back humming after a long hiatus. We were a large group and were able to use the function room, but I noticed the bar/dining room very busy.The meals were delicious, well presented, the staff enthusiastic and so friendly. The gardens are looking great. Thanks James and Kate. I'll be back and so will our group!. Make sure you book for dinner

Stopped by for lunch, service was fantastic and the food was excellent. The wgole vibe of the place was super chill but a cute pond based park and lots of bird songs in the background. The history of the location is on proud display and was a lit of fun to read through.

I stayed in a campervan on a powered site to the rear of the property. Fantastic set up, stunning location and really clean facilities. I had both lunch and dinner at the pub and the food was good and service awesome. Would definitely recommend. At $20 a night for a powerd site, this was a real treat.

Food was 10/10 exactly the standard youd expect of Pub Food back home in Ireland. Pints of Murphy (Donegal Stout) were top of the range and poured by experts. Bar staff were all completely lovely and sound. We stayed here 1 night in a powered campervan site and that was also extremely good value.
