Checking the bathroom details before you book a road trip stop saves a surprise at check-in. Look for the word ‘ensuite’ if you want your own. At Donegal House in Kaikoura, that applies to all 25 guest rooms.

From a full conference agenda to time outside in the gardens. Donegal House has conference facilities for up to 120, with six acres around the venue. Build a breather into the day rather than filling every last minute.

Since July 2023, Kate Lawson and James Boyd have been the owners behind Donegal House. The venue has been part of Kaikoura since 1997. A new chapter for a place with plenty of Kaikoura history already.
