Excellent spot to stop for the night - free for a non-powered campervan site, which given the quality of the place is pretty amazing. Showers cost 2 x $2 coins and there are toilets for everyone to use. The pub was cosy with a log fire and the staff lovely and friendly. Would highly recommend staying here!

Donegal Irish Pub is a few minutes drive out of town. Unpowered sites were free, powered sites $20.00. We pulled up here on a freezing, windy, rainy evening. The pub was lovely, great atmosphere and roaring fire. Showers were $2, but unfortunately didn't work when we were there. Very pretty location.

The pub is great. Great price, good pints and the food looked good. Huge roaring fire which our kids loved as toasty warm.
Amazing views.

Best place we’ve stayed! Awesome having a free and safe spot with flushing toilets! Definitely get your moneys worth with $4 showers. Great views and close to town. We’ll be back!

Stayed on unpowered site. Water and toilets were available and near. Food in the pub was fantastic. Woke up to views of horses. Absolutely great that it's free. Would stay here again if given the chance.

Are you in Kaikoura, checking out the free site by the beach in the pouring rain, imagining a shivering cold night ahead? Stop what you’re doing and roll over to Donegal House! It is FREE if you don’t require power, and their pub has a roaring warm fire that you can warm yourself by for hours, with a comforting pint, before you tuck yourself into your beloved van. We did, and we couldn’t have been happier about it.

I found this location to be excellent, I almost feel guilty that we stayed for free. But I got over it. Friendly folks, very interesting history of the place and we found the restaurant food to be excellent. Plus the wife did have a regular Coke which I sampled and tasted very good. I assume the Coke is made with sugar and not corn suryup like it is in the US.

Very nice place, free toilet, shower 4$, very good food, and very much places available. Non powered is free. And a nice few in the morning.
