Review of BLANKET BAY
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 12 Nov 2020
Blanket Bay is a luxury lodge with a high class service and a very easy access to most of the exciting activities to be found in that part of the Southern Island.
The staff will arrange anything you ask for, (boat, helicopter, horse riding, etc) directly from the hotel and they won't surcharge you for doing that.
The place is extremely quiet, peaceful, the view on the lake is one of the nicest we have ever seen and the house itself is extremely comfortable with a very warm and feel-good atmosphere, although I would have liked some more light in our room and bathroom. It was a suite on the ground floor and I guess the first floor suites are better since they probably get more light.
Apart from that, it is really a top class hotel that deserves to be granted the highest recommendations
Date of stay: February 2020
Room Tip: Choose first floor rather than ground floor, especially for the suites

      I wouldn’t say this lightly but this lodge is faultless. Not one aspect could be improved. From the super professional and very friendly staff, divine food which is varied, expertly cooked and presented to the high quality accommodation and internal decor. We had a chalet suite and it was perfect for a wintery weekend. In summer it would be even better with the outdoor seating and lawn. And on top of all that, just surrounded by absolutely stunning scenery. One of the best places we have stayed. We will return.

      A truly restorative weekend away. Outstanding food (faultless), beautiful lodge and chalet accommodations, welcoming staff. As Queenstown locals, we are aware of the options available in the area for this standard of excellence and luxury lodging, and are so glad we chose Blanket Bay. We extended our stay while there and wished we could have stayed longer.

      Blanket Bay is a beautiful property on the side of the lake. The staff are excellent, the food wonderful and I have to especially mention the cocktail waiter who make the most delicious cocktails each evening before dinner.

      We were upgrade to a lovely lodge suite, the room was very big, with a lovely big bathrooms (including a steam shower) , a really comfortable bed and beautiful big views. The have a lovely spa with a hot tub which opens up to views of the property and lake.

      There are lots of beautiful walks in the area to do each day, and the staff know them all well and can offer advice.

      This is just a 40 minute drive from Queenstown airport.

      Room tip: All rooms are beautiful.

      Luxury accommodation like this can become quite passe', but everything about this Lodge is fresh, exiting, and just damn invigorating.
      We loved it, the locality sets the tone, and our stay simply became better and better.
      A huge thankyou to our hosts, Tom and Pauline, and their exceptional staff.
      Naomi and I will definitely return.

      We had an amazing time at Blanket Bay and it was everything we had hoped it would be. Every one of the staff were amazing, the food was spectacular (especially the scallops, kingfish, venison and the incredible apple crumble!!) and so were the drinks (Enrique is a magician with cocktails!!). The setting is stunning and everything was perfect. It was also great to meet all of the superb staff, the manager and the owners. The whole experience is very personalised and that helped to make it a truly memorable weekend. I I cannot say enough good things about Blanket Bay and recommend it strongly enough - it really is spectacular.

      Thank you for following up and please pass on our thanks to every one of the staff at Blanket Bay, all of whom do an amazing job.
