We stayed a couple nights in March. There were 3 couples travling through NZ. This was a perfect place to rest and regroup. We had the garden rooms, which were spotless and well equiped. We enjoyed sunny afternoons on the patio sipping tea. The White Morph was easy walking distance into the town, and right across the street from a... More

This was our first taste of New Zealand hospitality and we were very well looked after on arrival. After 3 flights and a 3 hour car journey we really needed a cup of tea and shower. Both were waiting for us in our clean, spacious motel room. We didn't have a sea view room, but were so close to the... More

Our third trip to New Zealand and out third visit to White Morph. Our room (upstairs at the back of the property) faced the ocean and was very roomy. Comforatble bed, lounge, dining table and kitchenette. The attached restaurant must be one of the best in NZ and is not to be missed. A short walk to the town centre,... More

A shuttle will cost $8.00pp. Its... More

Comfortable large room - partial sea view was very nice. Clean, friendly staff, a short walk to many restaurants, 4 kilometers to a point in a park with a seal colony :D More

We stayed in many cottages, apartments, and a few motels during our recent month on the south island, and the White Morph was among the most comfortable. The superking bed was superior, and the shower was heavenly. Our room also had a double spa bath, along with cozy bathrobes. The hosts were friendly and helpful, and were kind enough to... More

We had a sea view suite which looks over the road straight to the beach and sea beyond with mountains in the background. Checking in was a joy, the room was large, well equipped, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The road was quiet at night so no problems with noise (the suite was well insulated anyway). The location was perfect... More

The White Morph offers a fantastic location overlooking the sea on the edge of Kaikoura and positioned on a main road which, fortunately, is lightly trafficed at night. We opted for an executive room which was well appointed and spacious. A next door cafe offers good breakfasts and for dinner the adjoining White Morph Restaurant is excellent. On the night... More
