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

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.
