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.

Although I prefer 2 day bookings, I will take single night bookings at $220. Make an enquiry for a speedy response.

Superb!
From the moment we walked into this stunning house, we fell in love. Beautiful attention to detail throughout. Everything you need is catered for. Fabulous kitchen with everything you need. Bathroom, beautiful, lovely bath with salts provided, wonderful touch to unwind. Bedrooms, spacious and detailed with super comfy bedding. Living/dining relaxing environment and space to unwind. Outdoor areas lovely seating to read a book and we loved the chess game in the backyard. Highly recommend for a wonderful stay in Christchurch in easy distance to city and surrounds. We will definitely be back. Amazing communication with host Danielle.

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.

Third stay and still loving it!
This is our third time staying in this house. We absolutely love it. It is super comfortable, private and clean. There are so many excellent finishing touches around the house that make it feel very luxurious. Communication with Danielle has always been seamless. The location is fantastic.

It was comfortable with many things. However, the kitchen did not have running water and one room was not heated. Also, the towels were very smelly.

So lovely but noisy
The house is gorgeous and warm as toast on a very cold Christchurch weekend. If we had not had to sleep there I would give it 5 stars but the noise from the busy road was relentless until the middle of the night both nights (we were there Fri & Sat so maybe it would be less noisy during the week.) And the main bed needs a more comfortable mattress or topper and new pillows-everything in the house was so comfortable (the underfloor heating, the bathroom, the beautiful carpet) it's a pity the bedding let it down.

Lovely place to stay with easy access to downtown Christchurch.
My daughter and I stayed 3 nights in this lovely home. The property was immaculate. The host was so kind and very communicative. I wish it had been warm so that we could have sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful garden. We had a rental car and there is private (gated) off road parking which was very nice. The bedding was beautiful and beds were very comfortable.

Only 15 minute walk to CBD from this excellent cottage
We spent two nights in this excellent two bedroom cottage 15 minutes walk from Chch CBD. The cottage is spacious with separate dining and lounge areas which were very warm and comfortablewith elegant decor. The bedrooms were also spacious and comfortable. The well equipped galley kitchen provided everything we needed to self cater. Danielle is a very professional host and her communication about the property was timely and comprehensive. As with Danielle’s other property near Akaroa (Maison du Campagne in French Farm), at which we also stayed, we cannot fault this excellent accommodation and will happily stay here again when we are next in Chch. We have no hesitation in recommending the cottage to anyone seeking quality accommodationnear the CBD

Oasis in the city
Fitzgerald Cottage was quite comfortable, and provided everything we needed during our stay. The only difficulty was figuring out how to run the dishwasher. The garden in the back had many trees and birds, and felt very peaceful.

Cat issues
The house and garden have been done nice. The main issue is the strong smell of cat urine that hits you as you enter the property. It is especially strong at the back door and deck area.

Danielle’s beautifully appointed cottage is the ideal place to stay in Christchurch. The cottage facilities are excellent and there are some lovely added touches to make guests feel at home. The garden is beautiful and the perfect place to relax after a day of sightseeing. The property is very close to the city and a stone’s throw away from the delightful Pom’s Cafe. Highly recommended!
