This is a great place to stay for a truly dramatic view of the Whangarei Heads. The house was clean tidy and well stocked including firewood to keep the place cosy in the middle of winter. Highly recommended.

Amazing views.

I could have sat on the balcony all day and watched the view. Even breathtaking driving up to property. Listening to the kiwis as night was very special and taking photos of the night sky as there was minimal light pollution. The bed was much to soft for us, but that is just a personal thing. Kitchen had everything we needed, shower pressure was fantastic. Lovely gesture of yummy biscuits, milk and bottled water. Thank you

The house has the most beautiful view over hills and to the ocean. Could not stop to look out - and did not have to, as the bed is high and the window low enough to comfortably continue looking while in bed (which is rare) :). What a view to wake up to!It is spacious and Simon was so thoughtful to build a fire in the oven for my arrival.I enjoyed my stay very much and can highly recommend Eagles Rest.

Beautiful, Peaceful Location

Had a great time at eagles rest, very peaceful location with a perfect view and still close to main beaches. Only thing I would say is it could do with some curtains especially in the bedroom as the sun had us up at 6.30 each morning. Otherwise lovely property with lots of native birds and scenic views.

Beautiful place with amazing landscapes and all the privacy

We had an amazing and most relaxing weekend getaway at this place. It has and amazing view of the surrounding land, Ocean Beach and Whangarei Heads. Even though it is remote, it was easy to find, house is nice and tidy with all the food basics (included!) you may need to prepare your food. Highly recommended if you want some piece and quiet!

Paradise Found

A hidden gem tucked away with the most incredible views of the water and surrounding hills. A perfect balance between beach and bush in this very homely and well catered to property. Not to mention a fantastic shower pressure to wash away the sand and a cosy open fire to snuggle up to at night. Pure bliss! We don’t want to leave. And we will be back. Thanks Simon and family for sharing your little piece of paradise.

Quiet Paradise

We loved our stay. A perfect spot for relaxation with what must be one of the best views in New Zealand. Close to some amazing beaches that you won't find anywhere else. A simple bach that provides the perfect getaway.
