Nestled between The Remarkables, the cerulean stillness of Lake Wakatipu, and a wild expanse of New Zealand bush, Azur is a remote hillside retreat that's only a five-minute drive from town. The stone and silver beech villas prove there is nothing more beautiful than nature itself: Glass walls and wraparound decks beckon panoramic views, while thoughtful touches like in-room aromatherapy burners stocked with essential oils invite a deeper sense of grounding. Before you decide to make that plush bathrobe permanent, remember this: Queenstown is a gateway to the kind of skiing, rafting, hiking and adrenaline activities that tops bucket lists.

We spent 3 lovely nights at Azur and thoroughly our stay. The setting is stunning and our villa (#6) was incredibly private, peaceful, and relaxing. The staff are very helpful and and eager to please - we enjoyed getting to know a few of them during our stay. Breakfasts were delicious and most afternoons we enjoyed the cocktails and canapés. We wish we could have enjoyed our patio more than we did but the fickle Southland weather wouldn't allow it, although we did enjoy sitting by the fireplace instead. Highly recommended!

As we were driving through the neighborhood surrounding the hotel I was getting a little concerned that it might not be all its cracked up to be - but we were not disappointed. Service is first class, staff are professional and friendly. The view is fantastic! Breakfast was amazing and served in our room. Car service to town was a plus as it meant you didn't need drive after you check in. Very clean and spacious villa with a cozy gas fireplace (we were in Villa 6 and it was very private). Expensive, yes, but for us it was a splurge that has left us with lasting memories of a wonderful stay in Queenstown - and that is priceless. Thanks to the Azur team for making our stay a special one.

Our experience was just as others have reviewed here. Service is world class, staff are well trained, friendly and very accommodating with all your requests. The view is fantastic, we were lucky to see snow on the mountains and we'd love to come back in warmer weather to enjoy the patio. Breakfast, afternoon tea snacks and canapè are all delicious and brought to your room. Car service to town is very convenient so you don't really need a car during your stay. The unit is very luxurious, exceeds world class hotel/lodge standards. Very roomy, comfortable bed & sofa, heated floors, huge jacuzzi spa overlooking the window with amazing view, very clean. High price but well worth it. We had high expectations and they exceeded them all.

Wonderful views, a very peaceful setting which makes for a good night's sleep. The staff are incredibly attentive and obliging. They will drive you in to Queenstown or pick you up, as you need. Definitely luxury lodgings. The breakfast, afternoon tea, and canapes were delicious too.

My husband and I stayed here for three nights at the end of our time in Queenstown and it was incredible. The room and bathroom is so comfortable and luxurious. The view is stunning! There’s a lot of privacy and the staff is all super friendly, helpful, and polite. Every day we enjoyed breakfast in our room (included), tea/coffee with cake in the afternoon at the main building, and also wine and canopies at 5pm. We played checkers and got rides into town to go to the gym (included) and go out to dinner!! Despite not having a full blown kitchen/restaurant on the property, the food was amazingly delicious!! Pro tip - if you like to walk/run, leave the property and turn right and you’ll find (without having to go downhill too much) the top of a trail that you can take down into town.

Azur was in a stunning location, charming development, lots of privacy, and fantastic gracious hospitality made this a truly great stay. Sweeping views over the beautiful Lake Wakitipu are enhanced by a lovely garden with exotic trees and carefully tended shrubs and flowers. We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed the careful attention to detail and every possible creature comfort. And soaking in the deep, deep bath looking over the lake was a treat!

For me, what makes a hotel tip-top is always the service. This lodge is not only spectacularly located with first class appointments and incredible views, but the team of people that work there make your visit a complete joy. Nothing is too much trouble. Everyone on the team is first class and the inclusions at Azur are tremendous. I would return in the blink of an eye, and recommend this experience to everyone!
