My husband and I had an extremely relaxing time in this quiet setting just outside of Byron Bay. You couldn't ask for better location, service and privacy. Would highly recommend this place as a couples retreat.

I loved my staty at Azabu .
so perfectly placed just far enough out of town ( lets face it , Byron Bay is unfortunatley not the sleepy little place she used to be , and staying right in town is a gamble with traffic , crowds and schoolies ) , but Azabu positions you in complete soitude while only a 5 minute drive to acess the best of the beaches / restaraunts and shopping ) .
The staff were wonderful , genuinley attentinve and friendly , not forced hospitality or wearing any service type fakeness , but honestly lovely and enjoying the company of their guests without being in your face. That type and quality of hospitality is rare these days .

The rooms are a Studio room . ( It states that very clearly on the website ) . But they are really well designed , great layout, funky stylish and comfortable. Sitting in a sunken bath with someone special staring out into the forrest on a rainly day is just as wonderful as sitting on the beach in the sunshine .

I did have some hesitation after reading some reviews about noise between rooms.
I must say I was quite supprised in the morning when we wandered up for breakfast by the pool , to see 4 other couples ( the place only has 5 rooms ) also having breakfast . We were completely oblivious to anyone else staying in the place and had not heard a thing !?

I have spent a lot of time in Byron Bay. Azabu is now definatley on my favorites list of places to stay , and i must also add that the breakfast at Azabu - IS the best breakfast in Byron Bay without a doubt.

To all the staff , thankyou for making our stay so lovely and wonderful.
See you again soon .

S & L.

Azabu is the perfect getaway for couples looking for luxury and ambience. The room was a little cosy but was well appointed and had its own private balcony with a beautiful outlook on a forested glade. Our room also had a spa. The breakfasts were unbelievably generous (and healthy!) and the staff unfailingly friendly and helpful. A ten minute drive on a gently winding road took you to all the action in town (we saw a koala on the road one evening!), but at Azabu you could be a hundred miles from anywhere.

I stayed in Azabu last month and while I couldn't fault the staff and the service - the staff were extememely friendly and pleasant - I found the accommodation sorely lacking. The room was tiny - I had a room with the sunken bath and you could actually touch the bed it was so close. I would have expected from the price tag to have a separate bathroom but there was only a separate toilet. It wasn't terribly clean - I had to wash a cup and plate before I could use them as well as the bath. We also had problems with the television being green. The fixtures and fittings didn't make me think 'boutique' either. It is very much a couples place too - I wouldn't recommend it to singles as it is far from the town. The spa treatments I booked were excellent on a positive note. But overall, definately not worth the money I spent on this weekend.
