Donegal House is in a great location, just a small drive into the town. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and it’s a great addition to have the bar and restaurant on your doorstep. The food is excellent and there is a large terrace to look over the garden while you eat or enjoy a drink. We had a room facing the garden and it was magical to wake up to the view. Definitely recommend

Interesting town like an old version of Torquay in Victoria Australia. Great fish and chip shop. Due to the weather we didn’t book any tours out on the water for dolphin watching etc.Interesting historical whaling station nearby and a wonderful old pub next to the pier.

Kaikoura is unique with its rocky mountains coming almost down to the shore. On a fine day, it is stunning. There is a very pleasant walk along the shore from the town centre right to the head of the peninsula. And of course whale-watching is a great attraction.

Kaikoura is so beautiful and the best place in NZ to see Whales. We took a Whale Watch Kaikoura boat trip and it was awesome. It was our second time taking this trip. The first time 4 years ago in April we saw a Sperm whale and a huge pod of dolphins. This time we saw 3 humpback whales and pods of dolphins with their babies. We've done the Kayaking trip as well and it was great. There is surfing and good hikes too. We also did miniput and the escape from at the Emporium.
