Book now for a relaxing escape and relax in your own private piece of paradise!

The owners of Casa Cassis make the property available so others can enjoy and share our paradise and give you an opportunity to experience living in a genuine French Casa built by a French builder just 3 hours flying from New Zealand or Australia. You will experience the Island friendliness once you step aboard direct flights from New Zealand and Australia or via Fiji or Noumea. Check their websites for island special flights when booked in advance.

Since twin cyclones hit Vanuatu in March 2023 (Judy and Kevin) and Lola in late October 2023 - Casa Cassis came through without severe damage but some refurbishment has been done at Casa Cassis. Casa Cassis is now ready for guests to book from November 2023 onwards. Awaiting replacement natangora roofing to be done 2024 (when supplies available).

We know our experienced onsite ni-Van staff ill ensure your stay is so memorable. You don't need to share our facilities with any others - whether one or two guests or six guests - you have the total run of the property - chill out and relax.

The large Casa is tucked into the landscape with our own private white sandy beach overlooking the reef where tropical fish are in abundance. Alternatively, laze away your stay in the salt water infinity pool enjoying magnificent views across the bay. Catch the fantastic sunsets in paradise from a hammock under the pandanus which catch the important afternoon sea breezes.

Petanque and beach croquet is a great afternoon relaxer while enjoying local French wines which can be purchased for around NZ$15 per bottle. Spend time on the wide covered loggia overlooking the pool and beach reading one of the many books available or a huge selection of DVD's are available.

Close by our Casa, you can enjoy both fishing or diving plus sailing or jet skis are available to hire from Mele Bay. For local restaurants, we have a fantastic French restaurant just 5 minutes drive away which offers a typical French long Sunday lunch with beautiful wines, beers and food (Highly recommended). Why not sample the local beer "Tusker" at our local beach bar only 4-8 minutes away.

Special conditions:
Price is for rental of all three bedrooms irrespective of occupancy. On site staff attend to all property requirements during your stay. House and rooms will be serviced during your stay depending on stay length or personal requirements. Personal washing and drying service attended to by staff for small additional fee.

Recommended as Adults only location given the location of the pool. Happy to discuss if you have older children over 16 years. Ask for a rate for longer stays. Absolutely no weddings or large gatherings at the property during your stay.
Extras: Cleaning (included); Linen (included)

Postscript
This home away from home is a lovely place to relax & gaze out at the sea view. The 3 bedrooms (each with a sea view) are in separate attached buildings so not suitable if you all want to sleep in the same house. The (6km from turnoff) road out to the property is gravel and very bumpy so best to hire a 4 wheel drive vehicle to get you in and out. Bring all your food with you for your stay. House has everything you need just like your own home. We enjoyed our stay and the owners are helpful with info.

Enjoyable stay at Casa Cassis
Enjoyed our stay at Casa Cassis immensely. Correspondence prior to our visit was exceptional and we appreciated the information provided before our arrival. We found the house was mostly as presented on the website. There were a few anomalies. The air conditioning did not work in the main bedroom and the heavy, salty atmosphere has affected much of the outdoor furniture (many of our swimmers and sarongs were rust stained before we realised this) and some of the doors particularly the main bedroom door needs attention. One cannot close it properly for privacy. The bathroom in the main house is in a small cupboard and our guest using it for her bathroom found it to be quite claustrophobic. She had to keep the door open to shower. The bar b que is 'island' style and considering the exposure to salt water does need to be upgraded to steel so that one can cook on it properly. Sticks were supplied to hold up the plate but as it is a wood fired bar b que they were not particularly suitable. We made do with these few things and were open to all as we found it. The pool and surrounding relaxation areas outside under the pandanas trees were well used by and enjoyed by all in our small party when we were at the house. You can access the reef for snorkeling straight off the little private beach which was a delight. One just has to take care on the coral shelf before entering the reef. We used the house as a base for nine days and travelled all over the island. We feel one needs a vehicle for ease of access to the house because Devil's Point Road is dirt, potholed and a good 25 minutes from Port Vila. This did not deter us and we drove all over the island with ease while staying at this house. The house keeper Melanie was on site for assistance which we appreciated. Overall a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

The house is lovely and we felt much nicer even than the photos. It has the most amazing view you’d never tire of. The rooms were spacious & very comfortable & the pool lovely. It’s well designed and very tastefully decorated.
