Escape to Azur Lodge, a chic retreat outside of Queenstown, where you can be as active or as laid-back as you want. It’s close enough to the action of Queenstown, only about a 5 minute drive, but far enough to feel like you’re in your own little mountain hideaway. This luxury lodge is perfect for honeymooners and couples. The hospitable staff treat you like a long-lost friend and make you feel like you’re at home... a much nicer one that is.

Room Tour

Nine standalone villas cascade down the hillside backing Lake Wakatipu. The villas are thoughtfully positioned to have dreamy views of the brilliant blue lake, with no neighbors in sight. Enjoy cheeky champagne breakfasts and candlelit dinners in your expansive room or on your private patio. Relax by the cozy fireplace while sipping some local Pinot Noir or Chardonnay.

Unwind in the sunken bathtub next wall-to-wall windows that open up to the fresh mountain air. Even better, wait until late night, and shut off all of the lights for some stargazing straight from your tub.

Lodge Details // Signature In-Room Dining

In addition to the 9 villas, you’ll find a main lodge building housing a sophisticated reception area, a library, kitchen, and dining room. After your day filled with exploring, pop over to this communal space for some complimentary canapés and cocktails. Ask the concierge to arrange dinner for you while you have delightful conversations with like-minded guests. Though Azur does not offer dinner onsite, their take on in-room dining is pretty special. They have a large portfolio of take-out menus from some of the hottest restaurants in town. A staff member will order your meal, pick it up downtown, and will have it elegantly plated in your private villa. Why change into tight jeans when you can dine in your sweats?
