Donegal House - Kaikoura

Brand new owners, and they are awesome! Place has a great vibe super friendly, cozy w the fire, and a couple of screens on which to watch the match. Food was great especially the fish chowder. Highly recommend a stop here!

Had a dinner with friends on monday night. The place was busy yet the staff were efficient and fast when delivering food and clearing tables. The restaurant bar has a very merry atmosphere and great selection of beers and wine. Hard to fault. Didnt want to leave. Will definately be coming back.

I visited Donegal House in Kaikoura for an event and was thrilled to see the place buzzing again after a long break. Our large group had access to the function room, but I noticed the bar and dining areas were quite busy. The meals were amazing and beautifully presented, and the staff was enthusiastic and incredibly friendly. The gardens also looked fantastic. Thank you, James and Kate! I'll definitely be returning, and so will our group! Just a tip: be sure to make a reservation for dinner.

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.
