French provincial / Everything you need / close to city / had a beautiful vibe / Everything was easy / super comfortable beds / we all loved it!! thank you so much, our holiday was amazing and your home just added to it. So glad we picked your home.
A lovely, well appointed property. Such a good location and is close to the city and within walking distance to a walking area along the Avon river.I loved the privacy of the property and the comfortable bed. All fixtures and fittings are of high quality. I really enjoyed the deep bath!! Perhaps the photos could be updated as the trees dont look like this anymore!!
215 Fitzgerald was perfect for conference week in Christchurch with my wife. The house was kitschy and comfortable with everything you might need away from home. Danielle was super easy and helpful when contacted. Would highly recommend. Also all the city is easily within walking distance.
Would highly recommend such a gorgeous property close to the bus and city centre and surround sightseeing areas. With an awesome little pub and cafe you can walk too.
This property is very secure, great location, beautifully appointed and decorated, and with so many personal touches that it was a complete pleasure to stay in.
We enjoyed the spacious house and excellent location so much that we stayed here multiple times while crisscrossing the South Island. Highly recommend this rental!
This is such an excellent property. All fixtures and fittings are extremely high-quality. As a francophile, I found the French theme to be absolutely delightful. The property is so well stocked with anything and everything you could possibly need. Danielle’s communications were excellent and we had no problem finding or accessing Fitzgerald cottage. If the opportunity ever arises, I would certainly stay here again. Close proximity to Apex car hire, just a 1 km walk was a real bonus for us. We are two single retired ladies travelling together.
An immaculately restored arts and crafts home with modern facilities and a beautiful tranquil garden, in a very good location being an easy walk to the centre.

We stayed here for a week and loved it. Walking distance to town and overall close to most things we needed. Beautiful home and garden !! So clean and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay.
The home is beautifully decorated, comfortable, well stocked and in a great location for us to walk everywhere. Loved our stay and will be back the next time we are in Christchurch.
A fantastic property, with a superb location. We thoroughly enojoed our stay. It was warm, comfortable, and a perfect place to base our Christchurch adventures from. We absolutely loved it and will stay here again!!
The home was very inviting and had a wonderful Parisian feel. We enjoyed our stay and Christchurch visit. Close to many trails and easy to access some of the best areas of town
