During our world around trip, we stayed at WMMI. We actually loved the hotel. Its a very nice place with a superb view over the ocean and the mountains. Its situated near both the small town, walking paths and were you booked the dolphin trips. We liked to walk beside the beach to downtown We stayed in a standard room... more

We arrived in Kaikoura in pouring rain and cold. We checked out cheaper motels as mentioned in Trip Advisor. But they were rather bleak & depressing and we felt that the weather meant we needed a little comfort. The White Morph filled the bill: modern and characterless but comfortable. A well equipped studio room with patio out front (unusable because... more

Stayed here on our first night of a tour around the South Island (having travelled by ferry from Wellington). The staff were welcoming and the room was clean and comfortable. The White Morph is close to the Whale-watching centre, though the weather was too bad for us to go out. However, a short drive along the coast is a large... more

We drove into town without having booked a hotel and came accross the White Morph. The manager/owner at reception was very pleasant and helpful. Our room upstairs with a lovely view directly over the bay. The room was large and very clean. The hotel is located next door to a very good restaurant for dinner and two doors away from... more

Unfortunately. our patio overlooked the car park, rather than having a seaview, but the weather wasn't great anyway. I'd happily stay here again. especially with the great restaurant next door. more

Since we are only there for one night, we decided to try its Luxury Studio Apartment, the best... more

We stayed for 2 nights in a "luxury" apartment over looking the water. Nice view, fantastic spa bath, but we had a few problems. The washing machine didn't work until it was pulled out of the cupboard blocking our path to the bathroom, and when we cancelled our thrid night due to bad weather for whale watching we got an... more

Disappointed - nothing like the website! Shabby, run-down. Very dated & basic. Restaurant next door of the same name is super though! more
