Great location But has some issues.
The location is a 5 to 10 minute walk to downtown.
Right next-door to the encounter dolphin swim company and restaurant.
Great view from the room we stayed in Beach front. Road in front then beach.
Had a very nice kitchen set up.
The furniture is starting to show a little wear and tear
The biggest issue is there is a large jet tub in the bathroom. But that is also the shower.
Very awkward to get in and out of. It is about 3 feet height. And the showerhead is not sticking out far enough.
The jet tub also is showing major wear and tear. I would definitely never take a bath in that tub.

Room tip: Second-floor View of the ocean

Thank you for your comments. We are currently in the process of updating the property, so some of the furniture will be updated when the more major work is done.

Kind regards

The White Morph is right on the water in Kaikoura. Very clean, good bed, great shower, facilities to cook for yourself if you want. No breakfast offered which is a slight drawback. Free WiFi , good off Street parking.

We had a deluxe studio room which was excellent, clean, comfortable and spacious. The hotel is a 10 minute walk into the main part of the town, but this means it is nice and quiet. The room looked out across the car park to the beach and ocean. There is no safe in the room and the hotel doesn't have any breakfast facilities; you have to go to the restaurant next door for breakfast.

Room tip: Have a deluxe studio room

The room was very nicely appointed. We had the room with the jetted tub and overlooked the ocean. The views from the room were amazing and we enjoyed our stay at this hotel on our way to Christchurch.
