About this hotel
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.
