Everything about this hotel was incredible. Attention to detail was beyond belief! We were late arriving and the communication was fantastic. Room open, key left, note on the door bubbly and beer in the fridge plus a few treats. The lady on reception in the morning was so sweet to…. Room was beautiful and 5 minutes from everything you need. Exceptional place! Thank you so much 😊

When i booked tge room i deliberately choose a room that was classed as accessible but when we arrived the new owner insisted that we had a room upstairs and with a climb into the shower- 1st fail. Rooms on the ground floor had not been checked so it wouldn't have hurt to swap 2nd fail. New owner didn't try to help even when we said we had been coming to same hotel for over 15 years 3rd fail. Prices had gone up 50% with no justifying improvement - 4th fail. No friendly finishing touches like the heating turned on as it was cold - final fail at checkin WORST fail of all was black mould coming out if the jets in the spa bath

10/10+. My family and I want to say a special thanks to Sue. From the moment we arrived after having been in a car accident - she expressed her concern and compassion. She allowed us to check in early. She continued to ask how we were doing. She even dropped a bottle of champagne off to our room that evening. The White Morph is a beautiful place to stay and we can’t say enough for the people who work there and manage it. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

It's always a good day when I'm in Kaikoura and is made even better by staying at the White Morph with beautiful views of the sea and the mountains.
