About this cottage rental

Entwhistle Cottage has been rebuilt with the same compact proportions of the original working man's cottage but reworked to make the most of the space and light. The kitchen, dining, living are all open plan looking out to the sunny courtyard. The small bathroom is lovely with black and white tiles and some vintage touches. The whole cottage is tastefully furnished with character and kiwiana touches.

We are happy to cater for families with two singles in the second bedroom(that can be made into a king). The sofa can also be made into bed for a third child/extra guest.We also have a toy box, a fenced courtyard and a small park right opposite. Entwhistle Cottage would also be the perfect, romantic spot for a honeymoon stay.

We have free WI-FI and are also able to offer free-range eggs from our own hens when available. There is also tea, coffee and sugar. Parking is free on the street outside the cottage.
Special conditions:
The price is for two people. $20 for each extra adult, $15 per child.
2 night minimum. Happy to take a one night booking if I have a one night gap between bookings. There are a few of these available over our summer season already so please inquire!
Inquire about long term rates.

Vaccinated guests only please. Our family is fully vaccinated and we are responsible for cleaning the cottage.

This light, airy bungalow was completely rebuilt after the 2011 earthquake, and is thoughtfully done. Kitchen is well furnished including many condiments and some staples (oil, flour), and fresh eggs and milk were provided! Communication with owner was excellent. Easy level walk to CBD, and #7 bus stop a block away. There are a couple of oddities: there is no counter near the bathroom sink (although there is a small cabinet above, and a small low stool for hand soap which is a bit awkward), and the door to the second bedroom can only be opened about 1/3 because it is blocked by one of the beds. Despite these quirks we would happily stay again.

Perfect spot to visit Christchurch

This cottage is a delightful place from which to base a Christchurch visit. EVERY single thing has been provided, and it’s a comfortable place to cook, to eat, to return home after a long day, or to stop home for a rest before continuing activities. It’s so beautiful inside, and there are many staples available to make the kitchen work. There is a dvd to watch about the earthquake that helps make sense of seeing Christchurch as it is now. The Pomeroy pub around the corner is not to be missed. Thank you, Karen and Antony!

Lovely cottage in Christchurch, just a 10 minute walk into the city. Airconditioning/ heating was great, as it was wet and chilly during our stay. Pomeroys Pub literally just around the corner for a great meal, or cook your own in the very adequate kitchen. Shower has great pressure, and bed comfy. Thoroughly recommend.

Lovely, cosy and clean!! Really comfy beds and the street is so quiet, even on a Friday night. It was so near the central city we walked easily into town. It has a very good wholefoods shop and cafe/herbal dispensary just around the corner. We will definitely stay again.
