A lovely old traditional hotel with a very good dining room and bar. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony looking out over the bay and sitting at the picnic tables in the warm sun. We could have stayed longer.

Donegal House is in a great location, just a small drive into the town. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and it’s a great addition to have the bar and restaurant on your doorstep. The food is excellent and there is a large terrace to look over the garden while you eat or enjoy a drink. We had a room facing the garden and it was magical to wake up to the view. Definitely recommend

Lovely spacious apartment with a well decked out kitchen and cozy lounge with the big gas heater. Nice and quiet area and a very short drive into the township. I'm likely to come back here, we had a couple of nights but it's the sort of place that would be a comfortable base of operations for a week of exploring the area. The apartment's private BBQ area is a nice touch and under different circumstances I would like to have taken advantage of it. We were provided a little cot for our infant and it was a good sturdy portable jobby, felt safe for him.

    A beautiful part of the world. 1 extra night to explore the place would have been nice. Hotel located with in walking distance to shops, pubs and restaurants. Staff at the hotel were lovely. We ate in the bar as the restaurant was fully booked and the food was great. Definitely recommend staying here. We had a room with a view of the beach.

    Loved the walk out at the end of the peninsula and the abundance of seafood on offer. The boutique shops offered things not available in other places. The views out to the ocean were amazing. This was all helped by 2 perfectly fine sunny days with snow on the ranges.

    Went there for the dolphin cruise and wasn't disappointed! Very professional outfit, and we were lucky to score near perfect conditions and of course, the delightful dolphins! Only one night spent in Kaikoura as it was on our way Christchurch to leave NZ later the same day of the dolphin encounter (sadly). Have already booked our return trip to NZ!

    Didn’t expect Kaikoura to be such an amazing tourist spot to visit and its activities. The environment was too good, everyone were friendly, from supermarket, restaurants and to activities. The highlight of our trip was the EcoZip line it was super fun and would do it again.

    I have stayed in many motels around NZ for work over the last 10 years or so, most NZ motels are very dated, like they were built in the 70's and never updated, this place is very different, modern clean and very suitable for families rather than just catering for truck drivers. Great staff, clean, tidy and modern. Listening to the sea when going to sleep was nice.
