Stayed here in mid-April for five nights for my Honeymoon and I couldn't have imagined it being any more perfect (weather, location and experience). When we arrived at the airport we were picked up by arranged transport through the lodge. On the ride to the lodge, the driver gave us tons of information about Queenstown and surrounding areas and even... More

A magnificent lodge operated by real people. My wife and I stayed for three nights in the “Paradise” room; a superb space! More

Absolutely fabulous lodge. The service is outstanding. Perfectly efficient, yet friendly, warm and personal. The accomodations are exquisite. Our room was called Paradise, and it lived up to its name. The property is incredibly scenic, a real wow....from all points of view - the walks, the water, the main guest areas and the guest rooms, even the gym and spa!... More

Finest food of the four lodges we stayed in during our 2 week trip ( Cape Kidnappers, Kauri Cliffs, Matakauri). The Milford Sound helicopter trip is expense but a must do.

This place is heaven. It should be in everyone's bucket list. Its a splurge but worth it. GO NOW! More

When we arrived at Blanket Bay, we knew we wanted to stay longer than the 2 nights we were booked. Simply breathtaking, from the moment you enter the gorgeous driveway leading down to the lodge .....We live in an amazing home, and this is one of the few properties we've stayed in that could compete with our home.....Beautiful rooms, spacious,...

The Mount Earnslaw suite was so spacious and relaxing, that all we could do was to extend our stay. There is no greater vote of confidence. We wanted privacy, space, and comfort in a lake and mountain setting. We got such a spectacular setting that the famed Milford Sound paled in comparison. The Over the Top helicopter charter to Milford... More
