Lake Wakatipu

intimate setting

dramatic views

On the shores of Lake Wakatipu, forty-five minutes from Queenstown, Blanket Bay offers dramatic views of the Humboldt Mountains and their reflections below. Wild, rugged and dense with foliage, the landscape finds its natural progression in the property’s stone and timber buildings. With their large windows that give onto the lake and grand fireplaces, the rooms, chalets and villas are elegant cocoons offering the ultimate respite after one of the many excursions on offer. From helicopter tours over the Fiords of Milford Sound to Mt Aspiring National Park hikes, jet boating in the river or fly fishing, the Blanket Bay team is always on hand to help you discover this breathtaking wilderness. And if it is serenity you seek, sit back and relax in the spa or in one of the armchairs in the bar, which offers a wide selection of premium New Zealand wines.

Activities, excursions and other attractions during your stay at the Blanket Bay

Upland riding

On a western-style horseback ride, visit our nearby sheep and cattle upland ranch. Exclusively at Blanket Bay, we offer you the opportunity to discover the Lodge and its surroundings in an extraordinary return to nature. You'll enjoy the unique and fascinating personalities of Rio, Bella, Braveheart, Pablo, Cosmo, Merlin, Vince and Razzy, who are eager to meet you and show you around their home in this amazing rural environment.

Jet boat ride in the heart of nature

Departing from our private dock, board a jet boat and follow our guides as they authentically recount the rich history of the area, the Greenstone Track, and countless Maori legends. Buckle up, feel the acceleration, and take in the breathtaking scenery on an exhilarating ride through glacier-fed rivers. Make a short stop on land to breathe in the scent of the forests made up of century-old beech trees and let yourself be enchanted by their atmosphere and exceptional natural setting. You might recognize it from The Lord of the Rings.

World-class fly fishing

Ideally located near several of New Zealand's iconic trout fishing rivers, Blanket Bay was originally built to celebrate the passion of its owner, Tom Tusher, for fly fishing. From lakes to major rivers, from slow-moving pools to rapids and streams, you'll be spoiled for choice during this exciting activity. You will also have the opportunity to take a helicopter from the lawns of Blanket Bay and fly to the most remote rivers in the south of New Zealand. Here, you’ll be blown away by some of the best fly fishing spots in the world.
