Blanket Bay

Dream

From the intimacy of the Lodge Rooms and Lodge Suites in the main building to the Grand Chalet Suites in the wonderfully scenic grounds, accommodation at Blanket Bay is of the very highest quality. All rooms are air-conditioned and feature super king-sized beds and elegantly appointed en-suite bathrooms. Balconies and terraces allow guests to enjoy some of New Zealand’s most celebrated landscapes in complete privacy.

Eat

Fine cuisine is a highlight of any visit to Blanket Bay and the culinary team has accumulated an impressive list of awards, with dining here is treated as a special occasion every night. Choose from the elegance of the Evening Dining Room, the Wine Cave for a perfect private dining experience for up to six people or, on the warmer nights, opt for the terrace and views of the lake and mountains

Play

Queenstown – the undisputed adventure capital of the world – is just 45 minutes away and is the gateway for unforgettable experiences like bungy jumping, sky-diving, heli-skiing and white-water rafting.

Blanket Bay’s Trek mountain bikes are ideal for exploring Rees Valley National Park and the kayaking on the lake is a wonderfully peaceful way to spend an afternoon. And if that sounds a little sedate, jet boat rides on the Dart River can start and finish at Blanket Bay’s private jetty.

Take time to chill out in the steam rooms and Jacuzzi and, in the summer months, take a swim in the outdoor heated pool. For those wishing to keep in shape during their break, there is the Blanket Bay gym, complete with state-of-the-art equipment.

The lower ground level of the Lodge is dedicated to relaxation, re-invigoration and fitness. Enjoy a massage or a restorative therapy all delivered by an experienced in-house therapist. Take time to chill out in the steam rooms and Jacuzzi and, in the summer months, take a swim in the outdoor heated pool.
