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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
