EXPERIENCE

The scenery around The Lodge at Blanket Bay is more iconic of New Zealand than any hobbit or wizard could ever be. A former gold-rush settlement named for the sheep farmers who originally lived in the area, Blanket Bay sits at the edge of a bright blue lake in a green valley nestled between snow-capped mountain peaks. The secluded luxury of The Lodge is an ideal base for the outdoor adventures that have made New Zealand famous, like scenic helicopter flights, heli-fishing, horseback riding, and hiking.

Looking for a little magic of the non-Tolkienesque variety? The Lodge at Blanket Bay has you covered. After a day of hiking the sparkling Mount Earnslaw Glacier or the prehistoric rainforests of Fiordland, retire to your 400 square foot room, complete with plush king-sized beds and lavish granite finishings. Make sure to take advantage of the pre-dinner cocktails, included in the room-rate, and soak up the awe-inspiring views from the wood-beam and stone Lake View Evening Dining Room.
