About this property

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.

This sweet cottage was a lovely space to stay in Christchurch. Well stocked with all your kitchen and bath needs as well as incredibly clean. The one thing to note is it is on a Main Street, so car noise is audible, although the front wall does help drown it out a bit. Definitely recommend!

This little house was perfect! It had everything you needed and I mean everything, including charm and a beautiful backyard. It was close to the city centre for walking plus the off street parking was great. Great communication meant we knew everything in advance and there was no last minute stressing! So much detail in the decoration! We loved everything about it. Totally spoilt. Thankyou for making our stay a great one!
