YOUR ACCOMMODATION

Nestled on the ridgeline of a private peninsula, Eagles Nest is only a 2-minute drive from Russell and a 45-minute drive from Kerikeri, the closest airport. A secluded retreat, Eagles Nest includes five luxury villas in the breath taking Bay of Islands. The villas are the perfect venue for customized luxury holidays, special occasions and elegant weddings. Swim in your own heated drop edge lap pool or take a spa for total relaxation in the privacy of your own villa. You also have a choice of walking tracks through beautiful native bush; some leading to the resorts own secluded beaches. Gaze at the stars through the telescope, pamper yourself with a massage and have dinner created by the resident chef in the luxury and comfort of your villa. Original gourmet Pacific Rim Inspired Cuisine is an Eagles Nest specialty, with an extensive wine cellar featuring the best New Zealand wines and French Champagnes.

just relax in the spa as the sun sets across the bay.
