Perfectly situated above the gorgeous historic village of Russell, Sacred Space is a luxury private villa with panoramic views over New Zealand's Bay of Islands.
Sacred Space is one of five secluded private villas nestled within the seventy five spectacular acres of New Zealand’s award winning Eagles Nest retreat. Serene views abound over the Bay of Islands, whilst a mix of natural materials and walls of glass ensures that the estates villas and gardens blend into the natural topography and foliage.


Sacred Space is designed to be a multigenerational villa, perfect for families. Casually elegant, all four suites are uniquely appointed with original artwork and antique furnishings. Sacred Space’s large two storey glass-roofed living area transforms gracefully from relaxed living to formal dining and then into your own private movie theatre at night. The open plan gourmet kitchen adjoins the dining and lounge areas all opening onto beautiful outdoor decks and living areas including a pool and spa, where there is another full bathroom, outdoor shower and adjoining sauna.
Private chefs complete the stay, organising anything from a five course sit-down meal, to a do-it-yourself BBQ pack.

You are absolutely magnificent!"

many many many thanks!!!!!!"

Planning a 7 week trip is daunting enough without the complications of COVID cancellations, rebookings, and closures. Yet every connection, every transportation detail, every accommodation, every meal, everything was flawless.
We can't thank Southern Crossings enough for making this trip all, and more, than we had imagined. You allowed us to see the best of your countries: the people, the beauty, the culture. Five stars, a blue ribbon, and a gold medal to everyone at Southern Crossings!"
