My wife and I had planned in advance to reward ourselves with a special place to stay following a two week hiking trip in the South Island. We are not frequent patrons of ultra-luxury Inns, so when we chose Azur, we naturally arrived with extraordinary expectations. Put simply, these expectations were surpassed. We were met in Queenstown by Tania, who... More

My wife and I stayed at Azur for four nights in February of this year. The complex has nine identical villas with a main lodge that serves breakfast to order in the morning and at 5pm complementary drinks and canapés each day. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. No matter what you need or want they seem genuinely happy... More

Tania, Gavin and their excellent team of staff went beyond our expectations to make sure that we enjoyed our weekend escape to Queenstown. Collection from the airport, and a guide around the attractions of Queenstown, before arriving at the Azur Lodge to the most spectacular views Queenstown has to offer.

While the units are fabulous and the views sublime, it is the service and the attitude of the staff that really set it apart. Whatever the guest wants! It is located in Sunshine Bay, which is a quiet little... More

This hotel must surely be one of the best hotels in the world! It seems to me that they've noted all the annoying things about other hotels and done the complete opposite - most notably breakfast that is served at any time you want! The staff were amazing and offered the best service I've encountered in a long time. The... More

This is what low-key luxury looks like. The villas are amazing, the service is 6 stars and the food (breakfast and pre-dinner aperitives) are memorable!! More

My husband and I spend 5 amazing nights at Azur in August 2011. We had a lodge with lake front view and it was fantastic. The customer service was 10/10, Gavin and his team were so helplful and made our stay unforgettable. We would definatly reccommend and return More
