Azur

I am about to check out and I’m profoundly sad. If I could choose heaven, I’d pick this. The villa is beautiful, and the views are spectacular, rain or shine. We came in late from Milford Sound on a cold, rainy, night, and were welcomed in the villa by a roaring fire in the fireplace. Weather cleared after that, so I sat in the terrace just staring at the view. At night, the stars are incredible. Breakfast was truly delicious, a small continental spread with a cooked to order menu (see waffles below). Grounds are gorgeous. Staff is so so great, they try (and mostly succeed) to anticipate your needs before you ask. Best stay in NZ, too 5 of my life.

Wonderful hotel; best we stayed at in NZ and capped our travel throughout NZ. Views were drop dead gorgeous, room was wonderful, and service was great. It is quite small, so don't look for lively activities on site. But staff is very friendly, and they went out of their way to accommodate our needs and requests.

Azur exceeded all our expectations. The rooms were incredibly comfortable and the views were spectacular. The staff was great, each one kind and friendly. The food at breakfast and the canapés in the afternoon were the best food we ate in Queenstown.

Azur Luxury Lodge was a fantastic place to stay in Queenstown. The views were absolutely stunning, with floor-to-ceiling windows that made it feel like you were immersed in the landscape. The rooms were spacious and beautifully designed, with a cozy yet modern feel. What really stood out was the exceptional service. The staff was warm, attentive, and always a step ahead in anticipating needs. One of the best perks was being able to order from local restaurants, have the lodge take delivery, reheat the meal if needed, and serve it in the room—a great way to enjoy Queenstown’s dining scene while relaxing in the villa. Overall, a perfect mix of privacy, comfort, and five-star service. Would absolutely stay here again.

Clearly, this is a beautiful property with great views and spacious rooms. But when you add on top of that how helpful and accommodating the staff was, that put our stay at a whole other level. And the breakfasts were fantastic. This was a splurge stay for us, but one that we'd happily repeat if we had the opportunity.
