Our Gardens

The backdrop of Kaikoura's 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-size statues of the Boyd ancestors who first settled this land in the 1860s. 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!
