Close to Milford Sound and the World Heritage Fiordland National Park

Blanket Bay sits within sprawling grounds dotted with trees on the edge of Lake Wakatipu. You reach the property via a long meandering driveway, snaking through green pastures dotted with sheep. The lodge itself is rustic and elegant, in true alpine style, with accommodation split between rooms and suites in the main lodge and further Chalet suites throughout the grounds. All are situated to make the most of the beautiful lake and mountain views and have a private balcony or terrace.
Stays at Blanket Bay Lodge are on a half-board basis, including complimentary use of all the sports equipment and facilities, as well as breakfast, pre-dinner cocktails and dinner. There is also a complimentary self-service bar available in the games room for use at any time.
As well as the entertainment to be found within the lodge itself, not only in the Games Room but also in the lodge spa, there is a huge amount to do in the area. Trips to Milford Sound are particularly popular, as is fly-fishing and heli fishing, hiking, and wine and arts trails.
Blanket Bay Lodge is situated at the northern head of Lake Wakatipu, just outside Glenorchy, with the beautiful backdrop of the snow capped peaks of the Southern Alps. The lodge is just 40 minutes from Queenstown itself, or 50 minutes from Queenstown Airport. Just a short helicopter ride away you can find the stunning Milford Sound and the World Heritage Fiordland National Park.
Blanket Bay Lodge is so loved because of its’ cosy atmosphere and spectacular setting. Being a relatively small property it offers real exclusivity, and therefore usually must be booked well in advance. These remote shores of Lake Wakatipu were once where settlers built shelters and pitched their tents. Blanket Bay Lodge has now brought the comforts and luxuries of the 21st century to these remote shores to create a truly outstanding and tranquil paradise.
Stays at Blanket Bay Lodge are on a Half-Board basis.
