Perched above the bay in Okiato, ReelHaus is more than just a cabin — it’s a retreat built from intention, creativity, and care. Architecturally designed and warmly detailed, this space invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and reconnect with the rhythm of the sea.

We didn’t just dream up ReelHaus — we built it.
After a local contractor framed the shell, we rolled up our sleeves and took it from there. Every hardwood gum floorboard was laid by hand. Each birch and meranti ply wall panel was cut, installed, and hand-finished by us. The bathroom tiling? Ours. Kitchen cabinetry? Crafted on-site. It’s been a labour of love — one nail, one panel, one peaceful breath at a time.

Whether you're here to cast a line, cast away worry, or simply watch the light move across the water, ReelHaus is your anchor in the Bay of Islands.
