About this property

This multi-award-winning New Zealand luxury hotel and retreat is set within a 75-acre estate atop its own private ridgeline, offering spectacular views of the Bay of Islands. Designed and furnished in an eclectic international contemporary style, the gardens and lodgings blend seamlessly into the natural topography and foliage. Unlike many other New Zealand luxury hotels, Eagles Nest at Russell in the Bay of Islands offers the services of its own resident personal trainer and spa therapists, ensuring the most indulgent of stays. Four of the five world-class villas offer their own private heated horizon-edged lap pools, and all villas feature private hot tubs, air conditioning, original artworks, home theatre systems, Ecostore amenities, and fully equipped gourmet kitchens.

Olivia P.

10/10

Waking up to those views from bed was unbeatable. The First Light Villa was stunning and felt very private despite all the glass. Communication was clear throughout, and the staff were extremely accommodating. We really appreciated the food provisions, the dinner arrangements and transport, along with all the thoughtful touches.

I'm a serious coffee person, so I appreciated having plenty to choose from: five kinds of pods with six of each, plus caffeinated and decaf grounds for the plunger. The rooms were fabulous and laid out well. There were also enough breakfast provisions to make a light dinner.

It's my last day here and I still don't want to leave. I booked the sacred villa, and it was worth every penny. One of the best places I've stayed anywhere. I'd highly recommend it.

10/10

We stayed in the First Light Villa and were very sad to leave this little piece of paradise. The accommodation and staff were outstanding, and the location is stunning. From the hot tub we could look across the bay by day, then stargaze at night with no light pollution. Five million stars, especially when you look up.
