PRISTINE WILDERNESS

The Lodge lies on the edge of one of the greatest alpine wilderness regions in the Southern Hemisphere – a brief helicopter ride away from the stunning Milford Sound and the snow-capped Mt Earnslaw Glacier, the beautiful quiet trout-filled rivers of The Greenstone Valley and the dense pre-historic rainforests of World Heritage Fiordland National Park.

THE ADVENTURE CAPITAL OF NEW ZEALAND

Located just 45 minutes drive from the famous resort of Queenstown and set against a backdrop of rugged high country farm, beautiful snow capped mountains, glacier fed rivers and ancient beech forests. Blanket Bay offers the perfect location for exploring everything this spectacular region has to offer.

From fly-fishing in the nearby Greenstone and Caples rivers, heli-skiing, the country’s best hiking on the Routeburn or Milford Tracks, jet boating and kayaking, 4WD tours, horse riding, art trails and vineyards, or flight-seeing over the World Heritage Fiordland National Park and Milford Sound are just a few of the possibilities.
