Restaurant

After dining at Donegal House, you'll know for sure the famine is over... Murray adheres to the old Irish traditions in all aspects of the hospitality provided at Donegal House, and the meals served are no exception. Delicious, and substantial by anybody's standards, they are made of the freshest foods, and can be accompanied by some of Marlboroughs world-famous wines. Inside and outside dining is available, with the sunny deck area being a popular choice, especially for lunch and summer evening meals.

Irish Bar

It's one of those rare places; you will be so pleased to find it on your travels. Irelands National drink - Guinness, and Kilkenny are both on tap, and a range of the worlds best Irish and Scottish whiskeys await on the shelf. The kinship which unites the Irish who visit from all over the world is a part of the very heart and soul of the hotel, although you don't have to be Irish to enjoy the camaraderie which makes Donegal House a hit with both locals and visitors alike.

Gardens

The backdrop of Kaikouras' most prominent landmark - Mt Fyffe - perfectly completes the gorgeous vista outside your door at Donegal House... Two spring-fed lakes are home to Chinook Salmon and several varieties of bird life, including Mute and Black Swans, Blue Teal, Paradise and Mallard Ducks.

The extensive lawns and gardens of Donegal House feature life-sized statues of the Boyd ancestors who first settled this land in the 1860's. The outside deck overlooks the scene, and is the perfect place to dine, or relax and enjoy a traditional pint of Guinness or one of Marlborough's world-famous wines!
