Only 35 minutes from the internationally acclaimed destination resort of Queenstown, Blanket Bay perfectly complements the town’s lively cosmopolitan atmosphere with a fresh, healthy balance of relaxation and stimulating recreation.
Built on a cornerstone of providing supreme comfort and privacy, Blanket Bay caters to a variety of preferences. Spacious suites, intimate lodge rooms and gracious chalets each showcase the magnificent panoramic vistas of mountains, rivers, lake and sky.
Like castles within the lodge, the suites possess the enchanting charm of uncompromising space. In these suites, guests may indulge in the luxurious pleasures of resting on a secluded sun-drenched terrace, stretching out on the sofa beside the fire, and being pampered in a capacious ensuite bathroom complete with double vanities, steam shower and separate bath.
Finished in polished wood and fine fabrics, the intimate lodge rooms are impeccable, with sweeping views across the lake to the Greenstone Valley and the peaks of the Humboldt Mountains. Each lodge room contains a king-sized bed, a private balcony and an ensuite bathroom with double vanity.
A world unto themselves, the chalets reflect the simple elegance of New Zealand’s early settler architecture. Timber, stone and period style furnishings have been artfully melded to create the ultimate accommodation experience. Each chalet features two extremely comfortable bedrooms complete with stone fireplaces, private courtyard and terrace. Ensuite bathrooms feature steam shower and separate bath.
For the utmost in space and comfort, one of the chalet bedrooms may be combined with a large central living room with fireplace to create Blanket Bay’s legendary Richardson Stateroom.
Dining at Blanket Bay is simply exceptional. The setting is incomparable and the food extraordinary. Guests may choose to savour the moment while dining on the outside terrace or in either of two dining rooms. For an intimate occasion, the candlelit ambience of the wine cellar is wonderfully romantic. A tantalizing, satisfying, and healthy Pacific Rim menu is the Blanket Bay specialty.
Displayed prominently under the massive vaulted ceiling of The Great Room, the vibrant textures of steamer wharf and early railroad bridge timbers, and the local artistry of schist stonework and handcrafted deer antler chandeliers are visual reminders of the region’s rich pioneer heritage.
Join old friends and new, within the atmosphere of our wood-panelled Den and sink into a welcoming armchair while recounting the day’s adventures over pre-dinner drinks. What a fine way to complete a perfect day.
