Azur Lodge

Azur has nine identical one-bedroom villas of 79 m², all positioned to offer maximum privacy. They are modernly and homely decorated with warm, natural colors and plenty of wood accents. The large windows allow you to enjoy the breathtaking views of the mountains and the lake from inside the villa. When the weather is nice, you can relax on the terrace and make the most of the expansive scenery. Additionally, the villas feature comfortable underfloor heating, a spacious seating area with a fireplace, a Smart TV with Bose speakers, Wi-Fi, a dining table, coffee and tea facilities, and a stocked minibar. The bathroom includes a deep freestanding bathtub from which you can enjoy the view through a large window, and it offers Marihi Aotearoa bath products.

When staying in a villa, a delicious breakfast, afternoon tea, and a drink with canapés before dinner are included. The breakfast is served in the main building, or you can have it delivered to your villa. A breakfast buffet with bread rolls, cereals, fruit, fresh cheese, and more is available. There is no menu, but you can simply order your favorite hot dish, such as an egg dish or pancakes.

In the lounge of the main building, afternoon tea is served throughout the afternoon. Afterwards, it becomes a bar where you can order a drink before dinner. Azur does not have its own restaurant, but transportation is available to take you to Queenstown, where you can choose from a wide selection of excellent restaurants. If you prefer not to dine out, the staff can set the table for you, and you can order from a menu of carefully selected local restaurants, with the food then delivered to your private villa.

Aside from the lounge in the main building, there are no other facilities. There is no fitness room, but as a guest of the lodge, you have free access to a local gym in Queenstown. If you desire a relaxing massage, it will be provided in your villa.

Queenstown and the surrounding area are renowned for the many activities you can enjoy here. The staff at Azur are ready to discuss your wishes and interests and can book suitable activities for you. These may include adrenaline-pumping experiences such as bungee jumping, skydiving, canyoning, rafting, or jet boating. They can also arrange sporting activities like hiking (with or without a guide), skiing in winter, or golf. Venture off the beaten path on a tour in a 4WD vehicle with a driver, for example, along the famous Skipper’s Canyon Road. Or opt for the ultimate scenic flight over the breathtaking Milford Sound, including a landing on a glacier. Other options include wine tastings at a vineyard, relaxing in a natural hot spring with stunning views, or a massage in your own villa.

The lodge is situated on a hill. The staff will gladly take you in a golf buggy to your villa if, for example, it is already dark.

Azur Lodge is approximately a 10-minute drive from the center of Queenstown. The lodge has a few cars available to transport guests to the town and pick them up again.

There is a minimum stay of 2 nights. During the Christmas period and New Year's period, a minimum stay of 3 nights applies.

Only guests aged 13 and older are allowed at this lodge.

Whenever possible, we work with local providers for food and drinks in the lodge. They have their own vegetable and herb gardens, cared for with passion by a gardener who also ensures that waste is composted for use in the gardens. Additionally, Azur collaborates with the local project Love Queenstown, which aims to protect and preserve the nature, culture, and heritage of Queenstown and its surroundings.
