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.

Very Nice Property!
The property was everything we were looking for and expecting for our stay. It was a nice, tidy place that easily accommodated our family of five, including me and my wife, two adult children, and a younger child. It was a short drive to the Octagon and all other attractions, situated on a hill with lovely views of the ocean. The communication with Rachael were clear and timely and our stay was very pleasant. The only thing I would suggest is a quick dusting of the corners and the bathroom vent.

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.

Wonderful stay at Eagles Nest
My stay in Dunedin was amazing, id come for the nz house and garden fundraiser for cancer in conjunction with the breast cancer society to look at the amazing homes and gardens within dunedin. I'd booked Eagles Nest in Sept/Oct last year and the house did not disappoint from the photos or the description.. The view was so amazing that i slept with the curtains open and enjoyed the scenic changes from day to night. The house was well equipped with everything i needed from an iron, washing machine,, lovely bathroom and kitchenware . Very accessible from central dunedin where i was during the day. Easy instructions on maps app and my queries on how to operate kitchenware etc as im an older mature person not used to different hobs etc came back promptly. Very much enjoyed my stay. Thank you. olderTdescriptiondescI loved
