Donegal House Irish Hotel
3.0/5
The spot for self-contained van is free, clean toilets, water for free and shower ($4 for 3min of hot water).
Flat gravel parking : not a stunning view. A rooster, regularly screaming, kept me awoken from 4am!
The pub is nice, warm ambient, truck drivers hideout, continuous Irish music, a bit loud to my taste. Big portions, count $50 for starter, meal and desert. Specialty is the roaster, at $25 very tasty. Beers on tap, $9 for a pint. The garden is really nice, you can envoy the sun there.

Kaikoura Peninsula Walkway
5.0/5
This coastal walk is really nice, lots of seals and birds.
Tip : don't make a circular walk from the city, as advised in the i-site. You can park either in south bay, either near point Kean. From there, can bee nice to first walk on the cliffs, to enjoy the stunning view, then come back near the shore, to approach the seals : Check first at the i-site for the tide and weather info.
