About this property

The Eagle's Nest: stunning views, close to beach

St Clair is a bustling beachside suburb of Dunedin with a selection of beautiful cafes and restaurants located along the St Clair Esplanade. The beach is rated as one of New Zealand's best for surfing and offers something for anyone with an affinity for the ocean.

The Eagle's Nest is within walking distance of the beachfront, just a 10-minute drive from the Octagon (Dunedin city centre), 10 minutes from Forsyth Barr Stadium, and in close proximity to St Clair Golf Course and Chisolm Links Golf Course near St Kilda Beach.

The famous wildlife attractions of the Otago Peninsula are close by with yellow-eyed penguins, albatross, sea lions, seals and bountiful birdlife within easy reach.

The Eagle's Nest is a warm and comfortable open-plan beach house that offers space for entertaining and relaxing. Heated by a wood burner and heat pump, you'll always be toasty as you take in the sweeping vista from the lounge, master bedroom and sunroom.

Furnished in a fresh and contemporary style, The Eagle's Nest is well-suited to couples looking for a spacious stay right through to families wanting to sprawl out.

The modern kitchen has everything you'll need to enjoy your stay and the all-new bathroom is warm and cosy. The house also features a fully equipped laundry and second toilet.

We pride ourselves in our attention to detail, cleanliness and those nice touches that make your stay special.

Superb stay at Eagle's Nest

We stayed 4 nights at Eagle's Nest mid May 2025. The house was perfect for the two of us. Great views with plenty of space, lovely fireplace for the evenings plus additional heating for the crisp mornings. Full kitchen and laundry facilities. Clean and comfortable. Convenient location for sightseeing and shopping. Parking available in the driveway. We'd definitely stay again and will recommend to family and friends.

We stayed 3 nights at the Eagle's Nest and it was our 2nd visit. The stunning view is the first thing you notice but the house is also spacious, has a very well equipped and workable kitchen, an excellent bathroom and is in a great location. The beds are very comfortable and everything is very clean. Highly recommended.
