Guest reviews Blanket Bay Lodge, Near Queenstown

Absolutely Outstanding !

We recently spent 3 nights at Blanket Bay with friends to celebrate my husband's birthday and had an absolutely wonderful time. We have stayed in some amazing places around the world and Blanket Bay can definitely compete on the world stage. The care, attention to detail and pride that each and every staff member took in their work was amazing. This particularly showed in the kitchen where every meal was different and the kitchen staff really went out of their way to showcase local produce and present something delicious each and every time. The service, atmosphere and warmth of welcome provided was second to none and neither my husband nor I could find fault in any aspect of our stay and that will definitely make this a trip to remember. We would most certainly recommend Blanket Bay highly to anyone that asks and we hope to be able to return again ourselves at some stage in the near future.

Fairy Tail Like

I spent one night in Blanket Bay. It was supposed to be a birthday present for a girlfriend but due to travel restrictions she was unable to make it. Blanket Bay was so flexible but allowing us to make amendments to the trip. I was a bit worried about travelling alone to such a luxurious place but, not one minute did I feel alone. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and lovely. The setting was magical. The food was delicious. The hotel room was super comfortable. I can't wait to go back and stay for longer. Thank you again Damien, Tom and Staff of Blanket Bay.

World class in every way..

I've stayed at some nice places all over the world and for the first time in NZ can truly say the service and accommodations at BB were world class. As noted in many of the reviews here the lodge, rooms and facilities are outstanding but the people are what make the difference. Friendly, attentive, helpful and attention to detail from start to finish. Damien (#1) opening the door and welcoming us, Tom, Tom, Damien#2, Sam, Marisol, Enrique everyone used your name and was so friendly. Never saw the chef but big props as the food from breakfast to each nights 5 course degustation (different every night) was just terrific. The food was superb, so much so I tapped out one night and just asked for a burger (no problem, a great burger appeared along with my wife's 5 course degustation menu...) The drinks and chat each night at 6pm was fun and a great way to chat with other guests and staff. High end price but worth every $$ imho.... Staff made super recommendations on the Heli trip and Dart river Jet,(both pickup from the lawn). Very impressed. We stayed for 4 nights and loved every one of them. Weather helped and was amazing but even if it was not we would have loved just a sit in the great room. Wife and I both had massages (Yumi) was also excellent. All in all nothing I could fault. Thanks for making our joint 50th BDay trip one to remember.

Worth every cent

I can't compliment our stay here enough. Spectacular location with beautiful accommodation, exceptional service and delicious meals. You're truly made to feel special when you stay here. We've haven't been able to wipe the smiles from our faces since leaving. Blanket Bay is worth every cent.
