Please note that some of the furniture is different to the images. Cass Bay is a quiet settlement with breathtaking views of the water, Quail Island and the stunning surrounding hills in Banks Peninsula. It's 15km form the heart of the city and just 2.4km from the groovy Lyttleton which has many cafes' restaurants and bars. Lyttleton is also renowned for its Saturday Farmers Market. Governors Bay is also close by with a popular Hotel Bar and restaurant with a pool and a cafe across the way. There are many breathtaking waterfront tracks in Cass Bay and surrounding areas. It's also a great bay in the summer for swimming kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding. An easy bay to access with plenty of street parking. The pool is not heated year-round. It is only heated during the warmer months, and even then, do note the water temperature may remain cool due to Christchurch’s climate. The spa pool (hot tub) is heated all year around. The fireplace is turned off but there are 7 heat pumps so it’s lovely and warm. The surround sound speakers are neither Bluetooth-enabled nor wired, so they cannot be used.
