## About this property

### Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

### Reelhaus Retreat

Brand new self contained retreat poised above the shore with views to Opua and the marina. The stunning architectural design combines modern features with eco friendly natural materials and unique artworks. The décor combines nature, the ocean and fish life complimented with unique art works. Full kitchen, wood burning heater and AC. Separate bedroom with queen bed and smart TV. Quiet and private with garden, deck and BBQ. Russell township only 6 minutes away  
  
This is not a basement flat with shared facilities or on site owners. Cosy up around the unique wood burning fire as you enjoy vessels and car ferries passing by. The bedroom has a heat pump / AC. Modern fully equipped kitchen and breakfast bar or BBQ on the Weber. Nespresso machine and fast fibre WiFi. The large separate bedroom features a comfortable queen bed and smart TV. A washer dryer combo is also provided but all linens and towels provided. Secure with a private entrance and smart lock access.  
  
Russell township, boat trips, restaurants and beaches are only 6 minutes away with Omata Estate winery around the corner. Passenger over to Opua on the car ferry to the local yacht clubs and cafe or drive into Paihia. There is also a coastal walk into Russell or from Opua to Paihia, one of many in the area. A cycle trail exists with optional hire bikes from Opua to Kawakawa.  
  
This is the perfect couples escape and base to explore the Bay of Islands and Russell Peninsular. Expect small touches you will not find anywhere else.  
  
You will not be disappointed.
