Clean and well presented

Liked: Very clean and well presented. We requested a quieter room away from the road and this was honoured. Although on the main road, the room was quiet. Decor has been nicely painted and upgraded. The welcome by those on the desk was very friendly and even the offer to take our suitcases up the stairs to our room . Although we declined, the offer was appreciated.
Disliked: A lot of external stairs for carrying large suitcases/bags and even inside the units have stairs to the bedroom. Bedrooms are small.

Brilliant affordable option

Liked: I really enjoyed my stay at Vita Nova Motel. The room was clean and tidy, and the location is great—nice and close to town. I really appreciated being able to park my car off-street, which made things easy. The guy at reception was super friendly and flexible about check-out time, which I was really grateful for. Would definitely stay again!

Felt like home! safe and...

Liked: A warm welcome, the staff made me feel like I was at home. The service and housekeeping was amazing. Free Nexflix, free milk. I stayed for 10 days, and not a single day I had to ask for what I needed because it was already there. Vic (The manager) was great, understanding and so were all the other staff. If you guys are coming to CHCH, trust me choose this place, the staff and the rooms won't disappoint!Once again highly recommend this place to all... Thanks! Vita Nova ! Love you guys!
Disliked: To be honest, nothing! My stay was very comfortable. The place is near a lot of shops and near from city center. Liked every day of my stay.
