About this property

Cass Bay Retreat close to Christchurch

Modern 4 bedroom house with great sea views of beautiful Banks Peninsula from every room and a rural aspect behind the house with all rooms on the same level. Parking on the flat behind the house or on the turning bay by the garage. Large deck on the front of the house with plentiful outdoor furniture. A gardener keeps the property in good order. Say hello to Tom if he’s about while you are staying.
There are security cameras over the garage and the main door. These protect you and us both. They act as a deterrent. There is an internal security system which we have disabled as it is hard to turn off if accidentally triggered.
Modern appliances and comfortable beds: 2 King Beds; 1 Queen Bed; One King Single. 2 Bathrooms, with one being the master bedroom ensuite, containing a shower and bath. Separate toilet. Study. Fibre installed for good wifi.

Our house is 5 minutes drive from the Lyttelton village and it’s famous Saturday market and quirky restaurants and cafes, and 20 mins into the centre of Christchurch. Local walks abound. Wake up to gorgeous views and birdsong.

About the host

Hosted by Vivienne Burrough

Host profile image
The house was purpose built for us in 2006. At the time I had my leg in plaster and so the house has been built with wide doors and showers for wheelchair users. Only 2 small steps to get into the house from a drive that runs right up to the front door- wide entrance. We currently live in Singapore but our daughter looks after the property.
