We were here in Feb for our honeymoon. The only surprise which was not a pleasant one is that 5 rooms had to share one washroom. I did not want that in my HM. Whole Christchurch was sold out otherwise i could have moved somewhere else. My only disappointment was that while booking it was not mentioned anywhere. Otherwise i... More

This is a lovely little B & B. The rooms are nicely furnished and very comfortable. The breakfast is also very nice and the owners are very friendly and helpful. I arrived at 4am and he was up waiting for us. It is only 15 mins from the airport. I would recommend this for a nice B & B

I stayed at Designer Cottage for a few days whilst in NZ. Chet was a very friendly and genuinely warm host who I believe has established a great vibe and relaxed atmosphere.

Thank you for the wonderful Christchurch experience. Off the high pace/noise of the main roads this "cottage" is found in a charming little community on the outside hub of downtown Christchurch. Close to Colombo street and all down town sights. Chet was a generous host, always being accommodating and generous whenever needed. Can't wait to come and stay again!

The designer cottage was a quaint comfortable place to stay. Not far from grocery stores, cafes, or entertainment in town. It's great to have personable people running the place as well. Being tucked along a residential street, it was nice to have it quiet and safe outside.
