Blanket Bay Lodge Glenorchy Queenstown New Zealand

The setting is picture perfect - an alpine mountain lodge framed by majestic mountains and crystal clear Lake Wakatipu. World class dining, a professionally equipped exercise facility, and a steam room and indoor spa, complement the extraordinary fishing, hiking, riding and water sports activities. Blanket Bay Lodge is located 45 minutes drive from Queenstown along the scenic lake side road.

Enjoy the fabulous vistas from the vast Great Room, where pre-dinner cocktails are served or relax in the cosy atmosphere of the Den. The outdoor terrace can be enjoyed day or evening with the added comfort of an outdoor fireplace. In addition to this there is the Games Room with a number of  activities including a pool table.

Breakfast and lunch are served in the comfortable yet cosy main dining room which has lake-views and a stone fireplace. In the evening dinner is served at individual tables in front of the fire in the Private Dining Room, on the Outdoor Terrace or for a more intimate occasion in the secluded Wine Cave. Top chefs are on hand to prepare exquisite meals using the finest, freshest produce, to complement there is a selection of fine wines from New Zealand's top vineyards including locally produced Central Otago labels. A special feature of the Lodge is our Wine Room and Wine Cave. On request wine tasting will give you the opportunity to sample and experience some of the world acclaimed local New Zealand wines.

Health Facilities featuring separate male and female steam rooms and change rooms adjoin the lodge spa. A perfect location for a relaxing soak after a workout in the gym or an active day in the outdoors. Work out using the latest and best equipment with unsurpassed views of the Humboldt Mountains. The gym is fully equipped with a Vectra Multi Station and Life Fitness Cardio Equipment.

Lodge Chalets: Complement the main lodge with the use of schist stone and old steamer wharf timber beams. Each chalet enjoys stunning views down the length of Lake Wakatipu with the Richardson Mountain Range towering above. The chalets contain two 700 sq. ft suites each with their own stone fireplace, large bathrooms, lake deck and private courtyards. The Chalet Suites are available individually or can be combined with an additional spacious living room to create the 1400 sq. ft Richardson Staterooms.

Whilst based at Blanket Bay you are handily located for excursions into the Mt Aspiring National Park on the nearby Dart River. Alternatively take the lake side road to Queenstown for steamer trips on Lake Wakatipu to Walter Peak Station, wine tours, jet boating and rafting trips as well as some of New Zealand's most scenic golf courses. Horse riding, scenic flights, guided fishing and of course skiing in winter are just some of the  experiences Queenstown has to offer. Milford Sound can be visited as a fly/cruise/fly, half day option from Queenstown airport, or as a long day trip by coach.
