Discover paradise at the Eagle’s Nest Luxury Villa Retreat, a 75-acre estate overlooking the Bay of Islands. Guests are within walking distance of the charming town of Russell, yet are tempted to stay put in the remarkably luxurious villas; with their own Jacuzzi, heated infinity-edge lap pool (excluding First Light), air conditioning, original artwork, home theater system, fully equipped gourmet kitchen, and more. Of course, there are ample outdoor activities to pursue – big-game fishing, sailing, diving, kayaking, bushwalking, helicopter flightseeing, and romantic picnicking on the islands.

Product Terms & Conditions

Summary of the environment: Russell is one of the last areas where two rare birds - Kiwi and North Island Weka - can be seen in the wild.

Enjoy a relaxed walk with us to learn more about our native forest and the creatures that live within it. You will encounter wild New Zealand birds in their natural habitat, plus fascinating insects and native plants. Our walks are suitable for most fitness levels

Night time guided Kiwi Experience Walk: The forest changes when the sun sets! The sounds and sights of the day are replaced by the creatures of the night. This is when Kiwi come out to forage, giving you a chance to hear, or even see, wild Kiwi in their natural environment. Ruru (a native owl) can be heard, shy insects emerge from their shelters, and glow-worms light up. (Subject to availability, Duration: 2 hours, Maximum Group size: 6 maximum Minimum Age: 10 years old*)

Day Time Ecology Experience Walk: Enjoy a guided walk meandering through a forested valley in a Private Forest and Kiwi Conservation Area. This fun and informative walk is different each time. What we see and hear depends on the time of the day, the weather, the season and what the walking group is most interested in. Find out about native plants and their traditional uses. Walk or sit quietly to see or hear native birds: Weka, Tui, Fantail, Grey Warbler, Fernbird, Kingfisher, and Pipit. Search for Weta, a harmless giant insect. Learn how the creatures of the forest rely on each other.

(Subject to availability, Duration: 2 hours. There is no minimum age but, for safety, it is recommended not to carry children)
