About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Fitzgerald Cottage CBD

This stunning property has been lovingly recreated and rebuilt from scratch to the exact architectural specifications of the 19th century house once at this site. The new cottage encompasses the quaint look, high stud and roominess of the old, but also incorporates the insulation, modern outfitting and comfort of the new.

From the moment you drive your car behind the drive's unique electric gates you enter a safe haven in the city. Before you the light, airy Zen garden designed by the owner and actioned by the master landscaper Lindsay Philps from GoFar Landscaping Company. Pause at this unique, private vista knowing it is yours to enjoy for the duration of your stay.

Once inside the house, explore the 2 generous bedrooms, living area, well-appointed galley kitchen and the "has it all" bathroom. Double-glazed sash windows, ceiling roses and ornate fire-surrounds create a sense of atmosphere harking back to a less stressful era. This attention to detail is, these days, somehow absent in most modern spec homes. Built to last, built to impress, built for safety.

This regenerating area of Christchurch is close to everything. You can start every day with a quick walk to Little Poms cafe for a wonderful breakfast and brunch and later meander down to the famous Pomeroys Public bar and restaurant. Or, by car, continue along Kilmore Street and within two or three minutes you are in the exciting Casino precinct with its Victoria Street dining and bars.
Once you have finished with your evening's activities retire to Fitzgerald Cottage, pop some of your favourite music on through the bluetooth-able sound system and relax in the warmth and comfort of your Christchurch haven.

We stayed here before and were thrilled to come back. It is a spacious and comfortable location. We made dinner, did laundry, had a soak in the tub, and even played a few games of lawn chess! Highly recommended.

Lovely house with easy walk to CBD
We stayed over Christmas and were so pleased. It was very comfortable due to the room layout, full kitchen, and lovely deck area. We walked everywhere… Riverside Market, Botanic Garden, cathedral, restaurants, and along the Avon river in both directions. Highly recommend!

Pure escapism
A prime city location, and yet so calm and peaceful. With one of Christchurch's top cafe for breakfast a one minute stroll. However, such is the detailing and warmth of this beautiful appointed home, you may not want to leave.

Such a great stay!
We found this 2 bedrooms home delightful for our stay in Christchurch. Very good communication with the host. Access instructions were easy to follow and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Beautiful garden in the back yard and lovely seating in the sun just from the lounge. Would highly recommend this place for a stay and hope to be back!

Charming cottage in a great location
We spent two nights in Fitzgerald Cottage following our arrival in Christchurch and before picking up a camper van to tour the South Island. The home is thoughtfully decorated and full of comforting touches. The gas fireplace quickly dissipated the morning chill. The recently renovated bath is luxurious. It's an easy walk to town centre; public transport is also available literally outside the gate. The owner provides clear and comprehensive instructions regarding arrival, departure and use of all systems. We would happily stay here again.

No regrets
Everything regarding our stay at Ferguson Cottage was without fault. Danielle was most considerate offering early check in to suit our flight arrival. The property is very well equipped, cosy and comfortable. The garden appears to have grown considerably since the original listing and is a well kept delight. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
