This is an exceptional place - a true retreat from the world -- very secluded andluxurious though totally in touch with nature. With amazing views of the ocean and the hills around. Though quite expensive, we were given a discounted rate as it was the low season. Kelly made every effort to supply us with vegan and vegetarian breakfast options... More

The folks who run it and look after it were absolutely wonderful, we arrived a bit late the drive from Auckland was much longer than we anticipated but they were still in reception waiting for us. Waking up and look out the... More

A lovely swim followed. We were driven down to Russell for a lovely dinner at the Gables. The following morning we woke to dolphins... More

The bay of islands seems to attract an amazing selection of quality places to either stay or play at.....I have stayed at a few nice places, but this place ranks up there with the best. I arrived fairly late in the evening after the long drive from Auckland, so I can't say I thought too much about the views! My... More

I've traveled a lot, and stayed in some wonderful hotels, but Eagles Nest was truly one of the most amazing accommodations I have experienced. The setting was completely private, the grounds were impeccable, the views of the Bay of Islands stunning, and the villa itself was gorgeous. I loved the gourmet self-serve in-room breakfasts, complete with espresso maker, a bounty... More

We spent 3 nights here. Since there are only two of us it works out quite expensive for what you get. Even if you have 3 couples sharing one of their houses it is $800++ per couple per night. and it is self catering breakfast and quite expensive if you get a chef in to provide other meals. Ok the...

From the moment we entered the beautiful surrounds of the Eagles Nest we felt at home. The stunning views complemented the luxury accommodation. We soaked up the ambience of the Eagle spirit for three fabulous days sipping Champagne and treating ourselves to freshly picked strawberries. Thank you so much Callum for everything you wrapped my birthday present in gold and... More

What a magical location. Our first trip to the Bay of Island and will be hard to beat. William was a very attentive host and Tama was a great chef on both nights. Really loved the view, pool, peace and quiet.

Simply stunning, absolutely beautiful inside and out. A once in a lifetime experience, so much more than we could have imagined. Views to die for, couldn’t imagine a nicer place in the world to wake up to. We had a fabulous time, the staff /chefs were incredibly welcoming and friendly.

We've admired Eagles Nest for years, while bobbing about fishing in the Bay, and last weekend, a group of us were lucky enough to stay! We were in Eagles Spirit, which sleeps 6. There's a spa and a stunning infinity pool. Suffice to say we made good use of these. The house is immaculate and beautifully done, with everything you... More
