We were part of a very large party using this venue for a function and meal - Staff were first class and always available to assist - meal was fabulous - not easy when serving around 200 people - cannot fault the whole place - we will be back to try out the other features this unique place has to offer - the new owners must be very pround of what they have done here - well done team.

Called in for the night on our way to Timaru, with our 7 mtr caravan. Heaps of room. Powered or unpowered sites. Showers available to campers for small charge. Meals were great also. Busy pub. Waiting staff were friendly and accommodating Definitely be back.

We called in here on our way south in our motor home. It was very busy but we got the last powered site. The hosts were very friendly and our meal was lovely. (However it would be good to see more vegetarian/ vegan options) We will definitely be back soon.

I ended up in Donegal House after finding 'no room at the inn' anywhere in Kaikoura itself, only a couple of rooms over $500. I started to drive to Blenheim as it was getting late in the day and saw a sign for DH which I sort of remembered by name. I was met by friendly staff who found me a room at a great price, clean and with good basic facilities. The bar and restaurant served great food which I ate on the busy terrace and all in all I thoroughly enjoyed staying there and would recommend not to anyone! Thanks!!!

Very relaxed and informal stay. From the very start we were treated as if we were locals and known by the hosts for years! The friendliness was exceptional. The mountain backdrop and valley view is one of beautiful isolation . The bar is typical of a Donegal pub and very inviting. The rooms though small were comfortable and spotless. The food was full and wholesome.

New owners have this place running like a dream. Food delicious and the other meals look equally as inviting. Hosts were superb. Relaxed dining experience without feeling you have to move on. Great family history. Will actually use the camp ground next time

We visited Donegal House a year to two ago for a drink and when I read it had new owners I was keen to go and stay. The grounds are amazing and our room overlooked them and the beautiful mountain range. It was brilliant waking up to that view, and to walk around the grounds, and we loved sitting outside our room in the late afternoon sun soaking it all in. We ate at the restaurant both nights and really enjoyed it. It's a cool atmosphere with a mix of locals and visitors. The accommodation is really comfortable - if a little tired - but really good value for money for the location. The new owners have lots of plans, and there really is a lot to do; but oodles of potential. I can't wait to see how they develop it. We will definitely be back!

Great to see Donegal House come alive again. It was humming. Great atmosphere, spotlessly clean, great hosts. This iconic pub has the community behind the new owners and they will thrive. Accommodation again is spotlessly clean and welcoming. First choice to stay there again. The caravan park looks inviting too.

An impressive establishment surrounded by stunning gardens. Has 27 units of accommodation. Staff and new hosts very hospitable. Outside tables allowed predinner drinks for our friends and us. . Meal either out or in was very good value and plentiful. New owners have many options for continuous improvements. We wish them every success. Recommended and will visit again
