Blanket Bay, Queenstown, NZ is one of the MOST beautiful places we have ever been. New Zealand is a big secret and once you discover it you want to go back many times. The scenery takes you breath away. the waterfalls, the hiking trails and the rocky beaches make for a perfect quiet getaway. It is an artist heaven and... More

We absolutely loved Blanket Bay. Amazing setting, wonderful food, great set-up (pre-dinner drinks with the other guests works really well), fantastic excursions (helicopter trip not to be missed). If only it weren't a 24 hour flight away... More

When we arrived at Blanket Bay, we knew we wanted to stay longer than the 2 nights we were booked. Simply breathtaking, from the moment you enter the gorgeous driveway leading down to the lodge .....We live in an amazing home, and this is one of the few properties we've stayed in that could compete with our home.....Beautiful rooms, spacious,...

The Mount Earnslaw suite was so spacious and relaxing, that all we could do was to extend our stay. There is no greater vote of confidence. We wanted privacy, space, and comfort in a lake and mountain setting. We got such a spectacular setting that the famed Milford Sound paled in comparison. The Over the Top helicopter charter to Milford... More

Having had the privilege of staying at a number of New Zealand’s luxury lodges Blanket Bay had a lot to live up to. The property is simply iconic and in a league of its own. The setting, the lodge, the cuisine, the service - all just superb and I would assume many of the other lodges around New Zealand could... More

At the end of our New Zealand trip, exhausted after having hiked the Milford Track, we arrived for three nights of R&R at Blanket Bay. Our room was an absolute oasis. Huge, with a massive bed, fireplace, amazing view, and the wonderful steam shower, it was a real pleasure to cozy up in. The location, outside of Queenstown, and adjacent... More

An absolutely spectacular and stunning location set on a equally impressive property which was let down by a long list of small oversights. This unfortunately added up to leaving us with a feeling that we over paid for a 6-star setting with a few 3-star attributes. What could have been better -We said we wanted an airport pick-up and red... More
