Our 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 Marlborough's 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.

Donegal House is set amongst lovely gardens in a beautiful rural area under Mt. Fyffe - Kaikoura's famous landmark. All the same, it is only a few minutes from the central town area, Whale Watch and other local attractions.
