Very enjoyable

Reviewed By Tim H

We had a great, relaxing time. I couldn't fault anything, in fact it was better than when we stayed in a 5 star hotel in Queenstown. I can understand why reception was closed for reasons of health and safety but it would have been great to chat with someone about the area

Idyllic retreat

Reviewed By Sharynp2014

Originally booked for one night the room was so great we extended and stayed another night. It was freezing outside but the sun streamed into the room and it was warm and cozy. Had a lovely outlook over the hill behind Arrowtown and the full autumn colors were on show. The room itself had the most amazing bath I have seen in any hotel room. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.

Splendid accomodation and lovely grounds

Reviewed By hale9999

An attractive home set on lovely acreage which manages to incorporate a forest entry, a stream, an orchard, extensive lawns and magnificent deciduous trees. We were blessed with blue sky and striking autumn leaves for a picture-postcard scene during our brief stay. Our room (Kahurangi Room) was very nice with mountain view and seperate access available via a sunny patio. The lounge-room with it’s glowing fire was a special treat. Blyth was a genial host (wife Anne was away) and the breakfast spread was top-notch Highly recommended.

I enjoyed my 10 day stay. Room was lovely and spacious with a little patio and such a comfortable bed. The staff are very friendly and helpful. No request was too big for them. The location is absolutely perfect, short 5 min walk to QT central and easy to get out of QT in any direction. I can recommend this lodge to anyone and will be staying here on my next visit for sure.

Absolutely Outstanding !

Reviewed By adelecU4802BI

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.

Great

Reviewed By Maree R

Wonderful place at a very reasonable price. We stayed for 1 night in king room - comfy bed, good shower and we used the spa which was a wonderful way to relax after a half day driving. Super handy to restaurants and shops. Breakfast in the morning was included, bacon, eggs and coffee were perfect. Will book here next time, great place to stop.
