ALPINE ESCAPE
Framed by the lofty peaks of the snowy Southern Alps, the acclaimed Blanket Bay is New Zealand’s premier alpine escape.
This elegant lodge sits on the remote shores of Lake Wakatipu, just 45 minute from the buzz of Queenstown. Crafted from native New Zealand timber and stone in the style of the world’s finest alpine lodges, it’s a real sanctuary of comfort where guests every need is met. The awe-inspiring setting invites adventure, and after a day of heli-skiing, horse riding and hiking, you’ll return to Blanket Bay’s plush sofas, cosy log fireplaces and amazing views. Additional relaxation facilities include a heated lap pool, steam rooms and therapy suite. There’s fine dining to be had in the restaurant which boasts a daily changing, five-course menu starring the best of local New Zealand produce.
UNPARALLELED LUXURY
All rooms, whether you choose to sleep in the intimate Main Lodge or opt for the unparalleled luxury of the Blanket Bay Villa, are naturally inspired and positioned to take full advantage of the spectacular lake and mountain vistas. For the ultimate seclusion, the Owners Residence provides the perfect ‘home away from home’ for families or larger groups.
