Blanket Bay

Blanket bay villas

Set on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, approximately 45 minutes from Queenstown, Blanket Bay is one of New Zealand’s most celebrated luxury lodges. Surrounded by the dramatic peaks of the Southern Alps, the property offers lodge rooms, suites and private villas, all with spectacular lake and mountain views.

Guests can enjoy everything from hiking, horseback riding and fly fishing to scenic helicopter excursions and wilderness adventures throughout Fiordland and Mt Aspiring National Park. While wonderfully secluded, Queenstown and Glenorchy remain within easy reach.
