Relaxation and Romance
azjure was designed especially for couples to relax and enjoy each others' company. Imagine how a typical day might go...
As the day begins, gaze out over kangaroos and deer grazing in front of your spa studio. Lounge around on your patio, bask in the morning sun while sipping a superb espresso or cappucino made with freshly ground beans and take in the glorious 180 degree panoramic views of the verdant Ballandean valley and natural bushland.
As the day passes gently by, read a book, watch the wildlife from your patio, or just be...
Then, as the sun sinks below the horizon, a new pleasure awaits, with spectacular sunsets followed by an incredible night sky free from city lights. Fill your crystal wine glasses with azjure's own superb Pinot Noir grown made from the vineyard right by your studio or villa and relax in the luxurious reclining spa or bath, surrounded by the sweet scent of aromatherapy oils, enticingly illuminated by the soft glow of candlelight, then lie back to enjoy the widescreen High Definition LCD TV...
Finally, doze off to sleep in the king-size pillow-top bed before waking up next morning to do it all again. Surely this is the essence of relaxation.
Wines and Vines
There's no better base than azjure to experience Queensland's premier wine region. azjure is simply surrounded by top wineries - just take an easy walk or drive down Sundown Rd. What's more, the spa studios and the Villa look out across the Ballandean valley to Sirromet's St Jude vineyard as well as Cody's and Smith's vineyards. And of course right by the studios, and around the Villa, is azjure's own piece of Queensland wine history - the oldest Pinot Noir vineyard in the state, which produces our very own azjure Reserve Pinot Noir.
If you don't mind venturing out a little further, there are many more fine wineries in Ballandean and elsewhere on the Granite Belt. Don't miss Symphony Hill, where our very own azjure Pinot Noir is made!
