This is Eagles Nest

In December 2000 planning approval was sought for a tourist accommodation facility. Then over the next 2 years Des enjoyed the opportunity to live the “Dream”, by playing the role of landscape designer, architect, furniture designer, interior decorator and lighting consultant. Eagles Nest I became a reality.

The goal being to give a unique Tasmanian experience utilising Tasmanian timbers such as Tas Oak, Blackwood and Huon Pine, along with Ben Lomond granite and endemic alpine plants within the design. Within Nest I you’ll find cultural links to the past and various mediums that showcase the talents of Tasmanian artists.

Nest I has its own private surrounds containing a courtyard, barbeque and campfire areas.

Our jobs as international teachers have allowed us to taste, see and experience the diversity, beauty and cultural uniqueness of many countries. We have spent the last 15 years travelling through Africa, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and living in diverse countries like South Africa, Colombia, Cambodia and currently South Korea.

As you walk through the building you will catch a glimpse of our experiences. Starting with a large art work comprising over 100 photos of “Patterns” from around the world that you will see as you enter, to the numerous artifacts and artwork that adorn the walls of every room, you will be transported all over the world.

Luxury and pleasure can be found throughout the building, where you can experience an outside spa, two distinctive indoor spas, an inside/outside shower, open fires, outside fire pits, a BBQ area, a well-appointed fully equipped kitchen, and gardens and landscape that all combine to bring the best of the world and the best of Tasmania together.

In 2012, the Kent family opened Eagles Nest III. The third instalment is a daddy daughter (Stuart and Grace) dream, inspired by the three years Stuart and his wife Sheree lived and taught in Medellín, Colombia. It was a period that coincided with the first six months of Grace Kent’s life, when the family lived in a small Colombian finca — a farm house — high in the Andean Mountains.

It is a time the family looks back on fondly. In an attempt to recapture the feel of their South American finca, Eagles Nest III is a place of relaxation, luxury and escape with a touch of rustic charm, right here in Tasmania.

Traditionally these buildings were practical, functional farm houses that both land owners and farm workers lived in. Whilst that continues to be true in many parts of South America, there has also been a move by city dwellers who long for relaxed, peaceful weekends in the countryside to build fincas.

The fourth and most recent addition to our property is The Loft. Perched above the Skyview Barn and accessed via a private skybridge, this intimate hideaway is designed for couples seeking a luxurious and secluded escape. Surrounded by a lush man fern forest, The Loft offers a unique blend of natural beauty and modern comfort.

And don’t worry — just like all our villas, The Loft is exclusively yours when you book, with no other events or guests in the barn below.

Inside, the open-plan layout includes a cozy living area, a well-equipped kitchenette and a plush sleeping nook, all adorned with warm timber finishes and clean lines. Every detail has been considered, from the soft linens to the ambient lighting.
