the Craic Whakatane

The Craic

The iconic, historic hotel is located in central Whakatāne with cafes and restaurants at our doorstep.

Partake in a beverage or meal and enjoy Whakatāne's local. Includes the Craic Irish Pub, the Boiler Room, gaming machines and garden bar.

#DiscoverOurLocal guide says: "Craic" (/kræk/ krak), or "crack", is a term for news, gossip, fun, entertainment, and enjoyable conversation. This iconic Irish pub focuses on what it does best – a refreshing drink in the afternoon sun out front as you watch the world go by. Regular live music gigs and some great pub grub."
