Blanket Bay

$$$$, Queenstown


Fodor's Review:

This imposing schist lodge faces Lake Wakatipu and is surrounded by thousands of acres of sheep-station land. At the heart of the lodge is the Great Room, with a grand fireplace, vaulted wharf-timber beams, and antique wooden floors. Floor-to-ceiling windows open out to breathtaking views of the lake and Humboldt Mountains. All five lakeside rooms have a private balcony or terrace. The three suites have stone fireplaces and large bathrooms with a steam shower and a separate tub. The two chalets echo the main lodge's structure and luxuries. The decor throughout is sumptuous; hues of maroon and gold complement native timbers and stone. Blanket Bay is a 35-minute drive from Queenstown.
