Azur Lodge stands as one of New Zealand's finest award-winning luxury lodges and represents a rare, prestigious investment opportunity with strong, consistent occupancy. Operating successfully since 2004, it is an established and highly regarded retreat. Just five minutes from Queenstown centre, it's a hidden gem away from the hustle and bustle.
The lodge (23 MacKinnon Terrace) comprises nine private luxury villas and a large reception lodge with kitchen, dining and multiple living areas. It is idyllically positioned on an exclusive hilltop across 13,913 square metres of freehold land, capturing spectacular panoramic views of The Remarkables, Lake Whakatipu, and Walter and Cecil Peaks. 21 MacKinnon Terrace is a vacant section of 1377 square metres adjacent to the lodge offering the flexibility for the lodge's future development.
Each villa was thoughtfully designed by award-winning architect John Blair & Co. They showcase high-end craftsmanship and timeless alpine elegance. Lodge expansion and extension design done by Warren and Mahoney also received resource consent in December 2019. Two extra two bedroom villas and a gate lodge was proposed and approved.
Each guest villa is approximately 80 square metres in size internally with private outdoor deck, designed with sophistication and comfort in mind. All villas are equipped with a heat pump, gas fire and under-tile heating to ensure the guests have a warm and comfortable stay. The bathrooms rival those of the world's finest hotels, completing the premium guest experience with sweeping 180-degree alpine views.
Azur Lodge has earned an outstanding reputation for its discreet, personalised service and world-class hospitality. It was the recipient of TripAdvisor's Traveller's Choice Award for Best Hidden Gem in the South Pacific in 2008 and has received numerous other accommodation accolades. In 2025, it was awarded One Michelin Key as part of the first-ever Australasian selection. Four other properties which received the same are: Rosewood Matakauri Lodge, Eichardt's Private Hotel, Stoneridge Estate and Gibbston Valley Lodge and Spa.
This is a rare opportunity to buy a reputable property with a successful and profitable business in the tourism mecca of New Zealand.
