Blanket Bay consists of The Lodge and two separate chalets each offering two suites. All 13 rooms in The Lodge are lakeside and superbly-appointed with their own balcony or terrace; the suites are phenomenal and so spacious as to make one gasp! At the heart of the Lodge is the 30-foot high Great Room with its vaulted timber beams and vast panorama windows. Three intimate dining rooms serve the delights of Pacific Rim cuisine which, like everything else, leaves you bereft of superlatives. The Lodge arranges all kinds of activities to reveal the vast scale and beauty of the area.
The elegant Lake View Evening Dining Room with beamed ceiling and stone fireplace is where dinner is served on individual tables. For the more intimate occasion, the Wine Cave is a perfect venue for private dining and can be reserved for up to six people. Under a clear southern sky The Terrace is a magnificent setting with the fire behind and the mountain and lake vistas unfolding around you....

It has been called the "Eighth Wonder of the World". Only from above will you begin to appreciate the dramatic scenery and grandeur of this unique part of New Zealand. Starting from the Blanket Bay Helipad this spectacular 2 hour flight takes you over the Greenstone Valley, Milford Track and the Sutherland Falls. A short stop in Milford is followed by a flight to the mouth of the sound along rugged West Coast Beaches and inland over remote alpine lakes and glaciers.
Jet Boat on the Dart River:
It's more than a jetboat ride - it's a World Heritage eco-journey into the heart of wilderness New Zealand. Navigating deep into the alpine corridor of Mount Aspiring National Park the challenging grandeur of the mountains and valleys will leave a lasting impression. Step into a horse riding landscape second to none in New Zealand. Our privately guided rides take in the beach at the head of Lake Wakatipu and across our very own Wyuna High Country Station where just you and your horse share this magnificent farm with the cattle and deer and the occasional wild goat. Longer rides take you to the Scheelite Mines high above the lake into The Richardson Mountains
No detail has been overlooked in the provision of The Boardroom seated in twelve in soft leather chairs. Break-out Rooms are available, and when work sessions are complete the comprehensive in-house leisure facilities are unmatched in New Zealand
