Blanket Bay

Summary

Blanket Bay is the perfect place to experience an inexhaustible array of activities. This grand lakeside lodge, deep in New Zealand's Southern Alps, provides a wondrous blend of luxury and fun.

New Zealanders have dubbed Queenstown as the country's adventure centre, but the world acknowledges this area to be singularly spectacular. Mirrored in Lake Wakatipu, among golden tussocks and sheltered by the high peaks, is Blanket Bay.

A microcosm of civilisation set in the vast wilderness of the Southern Alps, the Lodge and chalets offer superbly-appointed lakeside rooms and suites each with their own balcony or terrace. At the heart of the Lodge is the Great Room with its vaulted beams and panoramic windows. Intimate dining rooms serve Pacific Rim cuisine which, like everything else, leaves you bereft of superlatives.
