About

Vita Nova Motel, on South Island, occupies 290 Riccarton Road, Upper Riccarton, Christchurch 8041, New Zealand, in the city's western suburbs.

First-time visitors should expect a straightforward motel stay on a main Christchurch road, with the city centre and its amenities within easy driving distance. Guests have given Vita Nova Motel a 4.5 out of 5 average from 92 reviews, a solid record for a property of its size. Christchurch sits among the nearby places alongside Queenstown, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura.

The motel's site at http://www.vitanovamotel.co.nz/ holds its own booking information. Traffic drives on the left across New Zealand, and hire cars are the usual way to travel on the larger islands, which suits a Christchurch base for onward trips. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August.

Summers are mild and winters rarely bring snow at low altitude, so the roads stay usable through most of the year. New Zealand sits on the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, so small earthquakes are common.
