We are still raving about this amazing lodge. Beautiful building with staff that treat you like family. Food fabulous, Yumi in the spa magical, and helicopter to Milford sound right from the front lawn. The drive from Queenstown is one of the most stunning in the world.

Friendly staff. The executive chef, Corey Hume, met our highest expectations. The massage from Yumi was exactly what we needed after a long day of travel. An early breakfast rewards you with an amazing sunrise. If only we had more time..

Pre-dinner drinks are included in dinner, the wine is a little over priced & I think you should include an after dinner drink in the price. Also the bar tender is very quick to steer you away from premium spirits & use a cheaper local version.

“An experience I will never forget.”

The only complaint is a small one from my wife. The mini-bar and games room had complimentary drinks which was fine, but my wife does not drink beer and would have loved another option.
The staff,food and location were all amazing. From the moment of arrival at this very special place we felt very welcome with the staff all introducing themselves. I chose Blanket Bay to celebrate my 60th birthday and received a room upgrade on arrival and a lovely bottle of bubbles on my birthday. I will certainly return at some stage and have already recommended Blanket Bay to several people.
